Economic and Monetary Union of Europe The main reason for creating a European Market was the growing international competitiveness. In the mid of the eighties the European countries recognized that in the long run the national economies alone won't be able to compete against countries like the US, Japan and the new industrial centers in East Asia. The biggest advantage of the European integration is the unique chance of causing significant economic growth in the member countries by abolishing all kinds of barriers e.g. customs controls, trade restrictions, liberation of the movement of capital, tax harmonization, and by the opening of the financial market, a common trade policy, a common service market, common legal protection of companies and so on. The two countries who support the European integration most (at least their governments) are Germany and France. One reason therefore might be that both countries have a dramatic increase in unemployment rate within the past few years. In Baden-Württemberg for example, the area where I am from, the unemployment rate has gone up from about 4% in 1992 to around 9% nowadays. Most likely Mr. Chirac's and Mr. Kohl's only solution concerning the unemployment is a fully integrated economy which for sure would create new jobs in Europe. The German population, however, is scared that a United Europe would create new jobs only in low wage countries like e.g. Portugal. Many think that a European market with no barriers would would even cause “job hollowing out” of Germany. Moreover the German population likes the strength of the D-Mark and is worried that a single European currency would be weaker. As a result of this many Germans change their money into Swiss Francs. So far Switzerland has done quite well by not taking place in all events available. One reason why they are better off is that they didn't take place neither in World War I nor in World war II and therefore didn't have to rebuild everything. Some people expect that in a Unified Europe the standard of living in the richer countries will decrease while the people in poorer countries will fare better. One professor of mine once said: “Somebody must pay for the European Integration. Most likely this will be the richer countries like us. It was the same with the German Unification”. This shows that even some very educated people in Germany are skeptical concerning the new Europe. The light poll at the last election of the European parliament seems to be showing that the German population is not that much interested in Europe. The average worker/person if living in Germany or any other European country is not
Those of us that have celebrated those magical birthdays between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one can all share our “coming-of-age” stories; the tales of how we defined ourselves to be grown-ups and independent of our parents or guardians’ care. The transition from adolescence into adulthood varies all around the world. If you were like me and born in the United States, adulthood is recognized by the government once you turn eighteen years old. Although, in this culture, once you turn eighteen perhaps your parents recognized it for you and sent you to college or go into the world and find your own way. Elsewhere in the world, different cultures and religions around the world set their own mark to when they believe this metamorphosis takes place. This can be heavily influenced by one’s parents, religion or through traditional ceremonies or rituals.
Many businesses hire low skilled workers for low wage, but many Americans are not willing to work for low wage. Moreover, many businesses want to keep their costs in a very low price, to achieve the high profit margin. They get their employees from other countries and moving production over the world. Many workers in the United States come from halfway across the world. Low-paid workers are used to produce and export raw material. Companies use cheap raw materials to produce products and invest to other countries with high profits. “People in the south still produced items for export to north--but now they export manufactured food as well as raw materials” (Chomsky 5). The New England was the first one to try out with new business in the U.S. southeast in the beginning of 21th century to find lower cost. “The New England textile industry was one of the first to experiment with plant relocation, shifting its production to the U.S southeast starting at the very beginning of twentieth century in search of lower costs” (Chomsky 5). The relocation program was very successful by the end of the
wage rates, however this has not affected the people in a negative way. In fact,
Censorship is the examining of material and suppressing all or part if considered morally or otherwise unacceptable. (Webster’s Dictionary, 87) Censorship of rap music is a way to limit the exposure of what is going on in the world today. Gangster rap, the most popular, but most controversial music today, is a depiction of the lives of a large group of people. When rappers speak, they are just telling about the lives that they live day to day. “If you think this reality is positive then you're wrong,” says rap artist DMX, “because there are not too many communities in the hood. There's just a bunch of individuals. But all that matters to me is if niggas know I'm speaking for them - because I am them.(D.M.X…The Dog Bites, www.TheSource.com.) The government cannot censor what these artists speak of (i.e. poverty, welfare, and police brutality) because they are the truth.
World War I is known as a war that occurred on extremely cruel terms; there were not many restrictions on what and when certain weapons could be used. Unfortunately, the Industrial Age brought with it many new ways to kill; the soldiers of World War I came in contact with many new weapons that they had never seen in combat.
of World War One as the war does not have a big control on the way we
Music from various generations would have to be censored and reissued to the public. Time is nonrenewable, and it would take an unreasonable amount of time to censor each explicit song. It would also cost a great deal of money to put forth the censored songs. Thousands of songs would have to be taken down from iTunes, and thousands of new, clean versions would have to be released. New CDs would have to be released with clean versions of songs, and therefore, this notion of censorship is completely irrational. This would hamper the music industry immensely and cost it millions of dollars. Also, the censorship of music would set a dangerous precedent for the censorship of other forms of expression. Ultimately, there is no set standard for the censorship of media. Censoring all explicit music and protecting profanity in films would be
The definition of advocacy is the act of speaking on the behalf of or in support of another person, place, or thing. In its simplest form, it means standing up for what one believes in for both self and others. Nurses may act as an advocate for supporting knowledgeable decisions, by acting as liaisons or by interceding for another individual. The objectives of a nurse as an advocate are to notify, enhance independence, and respect the decision of the patient (Cherry, 2017). Simply put, the nurse is most often the go-between or mediator between the healthcare system and the patient. Advocacy is mannered by the nurse’s code of ethics. These codes impact the profession across-the-board. While certain codes may vary from country to country, the central principles are created in the relationship between the nurse and the patient.
Music is not being censored for no reason. When you're listening to music on the radio there's holes in the songs its due to profanity and drug references. When a song is popular it drills itself in the the minds of the adolescent. When a teen hears Tupac and pick up a gun after being desensitized to violence or listening to Wiz Khalifa they start smoking or drinking and doing drugs which ruins so many lives .Many artists are looked down for publicly using drugs such as Wiz khalifa or Eminem. As well as many other artists promote violence or used it explicitly such 2Pac (Abram).When rappers or artists in general start using degrading terms for music in general as in shown in Malcolm X’s article when he quotes Aaron McGruder when he says "I don't mean b!+(h in a disrespectful way, I mean it as a general term for women," (Abram).when degrading ter...
As of today it's often said that from the blurry images on tv to the blanked out words on the radio, that censorship is usually been seen everywhere. It can be described as the act or practice of putting down material allow obnoxious on moral, political, military, and other grounds. Censorship has been around forever and has been done by different groups, such as there has been government, sometimes you see religious groups, corporations, and mass media. Censorship is also seen in every country and each of them may have its own guidelines in regards to censorship. There are so many reasons there are for censoring, because they do not want hidden government ideas to be put out to the public, so they don't give out false information. There are many people out there that think censorship is a good thing. But also others think that it it just wrong. All the censorships actually fall into a type of category.
• The European Commission says that the Single Market has helped create 2.5 million new jobs and generated €800 billion in additional wealth since 1993
In 1965, a Rolling Stone song, Satisfaction, was not allowed to be played because a couple critics thought that it contained sexual content (A). Recently, hip hop and rap music videos appear to have more sexual conduct, drug-use, and violence. People believe that children should not see or listen to these sort of things because it can influence their young minds. Music is way to express feelings and thoughts. Some may feel that it 's inappropriate but in reality what is appropriate these days? Yes, songs contain cuss words, people having different views of life and/or different dance styles but does that give people the right to censor it. The artists do things to entertain and to give people a voice. Plus music is not the only thing that contains inappropriate things, there is the internet, some television shows and movies that do more indecent actions.. There are better ways of handling things. Yes, blurting out words helped but its not like people do not know the words already. So whats the point if censoring out words when we know them, when we say them. Children are sure to hear things like that whether it is caused by music or not. I think that music censoring should be handled better than how it
One of the most pressing reasons for censoring certain videos and information is to protect the developing minds of children and minors. Children tend to believe what they see or hear of media and this can cause significant impact on they their thinking develops. They lack the maturity to see the difference between good or bad, real and reel and showing such footage it could alter and manipulate the way they think. One of the most prominent examples of this would be Miley Cyrus’s performance at the 2013 VMA’s (Rosen, "Miley Cyrus Censored By MTV After On-Stage Smoking"). At this music awards event Miley Cyrus’s performance was shocking and her sexual performa...
Britain's entry into the European Economic Community was a source of great conflict in Europe. There were suspicions that French President de Gaulle did not want Britain to enter in order to maintain his country's hegemony over the EEC. De Gaulle spoke of the cultural and institutional differences that would make Britain incompatible with the Six. The British governments motives were even questioned as to whether they only wanted to reap the economic benefits of the EEC. The following is my assessment of these situations according to the Salmon documents.
In “What Is It About 20-Somethings?” by Robin Marantz Henig she opens up discussion on the theories of why twenties’ year old are not reaching milestones in the way that earlier generations have. This brings up the idea of emerging adulthood, and the argument of incorporating emerging adulthood into life phases. While in the article it does seem like emerging adulthood is only for the privileged, including emerging adulthood has more potentials benefits such as giving people the opportunity to learn about themselves and for their brains to fully develop, while the only risk is seeing if the theory applies to all the youth.
