Do you need some motivation to get off the couch and begin exercising? Maybe you have started to work out and then stopped your work out routine so many times that you cannot keep track of the number of programs you have tried. Well you are not alone. In fact, by statistics that would make you an average American. All the same, working out for the sake of health and well-being is becoming increasingly important as we continue to learn the effects of inactivity. There are many benefits that arrive from the presence of exercise in your daily routine. Improve strength, improved cardiovascular fitness, and an improved immune system are just three of the MANY benefits that come from exercise and activity. I will tell you a little bit more about each of these three benefits and how and why they can help to benefit you.
First, strength according to Webster’s dictionary is the power to resist strain or stress. Strength training, also known as resistance training, has many benefits. By training over a regular period of time your muscle tone will increase the muscle's readiness for work. Increased muscle tone improves posture, which can help lead to a better-developed physique. Following a resistance-training program you can expect, in both men and women, to find changes in your body shape. Women will have a slightly greater loss in body fat where gains in muscle mass tend to be slightly greater in men. Thus, both men and women can have positive effects on their body compositio...
Controversy has surrounded Australia’s boat arrivals since 2001, when the Howard government took office. Howard instituted Operation Relex, a policy directing the Royal Australian Navy to intercept and board suspected illegal entry vessels, or SIEV’s (Turning Back Boats). Initially widely accepted, this policy was designed to discourage people from arriving illegally by boat. However, turning back small, overcrowded boats, and returning them just inside Indonesian waters, quickly became a safety issue (Turning Back Boats). According to the “Senate Select Committee’s Inquiry into a Certain Maritime Incident,” of the 12 boats intercepted from September 2002 to March 2003, four were turned back and three sank, killing two people (Turning Back Boats). Although Australia has a right to protect its borders from illegal aliens, over 90% of these asylum-seekers qualify as refugees (Turning Back Boats). Such a low success rate is reason enough to end the hazardous practice, but even more concerning are the detention centers where the remaining 10% are held. In 2001, the Howard government passed the Pacific Solution, authorizing the transport of asylum-seekers to island nations and offshore detention centers (Turning Back Boats). Since then, countless human rights violations have occurred at the Christmas Island, Manus Island, and Nauru detention centers (Murray). The asylum-seekers, some children, are often detained in poor conditions for indefinite periods of time, subjected to enhanced screenings, and refused legal representation or the right to appeal (Australia). After Howard left office in 2006 the refugee policies stopped, and the Australian government worked to heal the damage done to the islanders and its international reputation (Turning Back Boats). However, under PM Tony Abbott, the asylum seeker policies returned in 2014 through Operation Sovereign
This paper will seek to discuss the historical aspect of the Party Systems of Canada. Moreover, explain how each one of the five parties functioned, how they sought to serve Canada to get Canadians to vote. It will go into deep detail about the parties to get a clear understand of what was going on within Canadian politics when it comes to the Party Systems as well as its structure.

They have been found to have detrimental psychological effects, as they leave refugees in a state of limbo, fearing their imminent forced return, where they are unable to integrate into society. This emotional distress is often compounded by the fact that refugees on TPVs in Australia are not able to apply for family reunification nor are they able to leave the country. Family reunification is a well-established right in Sweden, as well as most western countries. Moreover, it is a human right protected under the ICCPR whereby refugees have the right to family (Article 23) and the right to freedom from arbitrary interference with family life (Article 17). As a result of living in a state of uncertainty and heartache caused by family separation, refugees on TPVs face a “700 percent increased risk of developing depression and post-traumatic stress disorder in comparison with PPV (permanent protection visa) refugees (Mansouri et al. 2009, pp. 145). Denial of family reunification under TPVs is likely to cause more asylum seekers to engage in illegal means to arrive in
The political incentives that spawned parties are transparent. In any system where collective choices are made by voting, organization pays. When action requires winning majorities on a continuing basis in multiple settings, organization is absolutely essential. The Constitution’s provisions for enacting laws and electing leaders therefore put a huge premium on building majority alliances across institutions and electoral units. Parties grew out of the efforts of political entrepreneurs to build such alliances and to coordinate the collective activity necessary to gain control of and use machinery of government. One of the incentives for building political parties is to build stable legislative and electoral alliances. To control policy consistently, then,
Political parties have several roles in government. They recruit, choose, and present candidates for public office. They inform and mobilize supporters through campaigns, defining issues, and even criticizing other candidates. Parties act as a bonding agent guaranteeing their candidate is worthy of office and will act according to their partisanship, or firm allegiance to a party. Most importantly they unite diverse interests and make collective action possible. Parties out of power act as a watchdog, keeping a close eye on the actions of the party in power for an error or indiscretion to use against them in the next election. (pg. 251-252)
An extraordinary 65.3 million Refugees have been displaced around the world. In 2015 Australia took 12,000 of them. But where are Australians placing these Refugees? Australia is deporting these Refugees to a third country, either on Manus or Nauru Island. These Islands have reports of inhumane and cruel treatment towards Refugees For those who aren’t fully aware of what Refugees are; they are people whom come to Australia illegally without the appropriate visas. They cannot obtain these visas because of the reasons they are fleeing their country … their Government. None the less it should be the Australian Government they fear. The concepts of refugees are kept hidden away from us by our own Government in reflection of their Governments own self-interest. This tragedy is classified as a modern day witch hunt.
Political parties in the United States, just like any other country has been in existence for many years, probably since the late 1700s. In definition, a political party is a legally organized group of individuals or people who have similar opinions and control the governing of a country. Long before political parties in America came about, there had been indifference concerning the existence of political parties, but today, Political parties are a vital constituent of a democracy. They provide a means through which individuals in America can express themselves and their voices can be heard. It can also be seen as a link between the people and the government. Political parties thereby have important roles which they carry out such as nominating candidates, help in the formation of public opinions, organizing the government and much more.
This immediately shows the difference between the two characters, how Rita is self confident and how Frank is a bit shocked at this kind of behaviour and it’s the kind of thing he wouldn’t expect from a university student. But these differences change throughout the play Rit...
The Battle of Monte Cassino was one of the most important battles fought in World War II. They were a series of four battles fought to gain the route to the Italian city of Rome for the Allies. From the military point of view, Monte Cassino was essential to victory. Culturally, however, the hill of Monte Cassino included an ancient monastery, which was used by the Germans and was important historically and religiously to the Italians living in Monte Cassino. The monastery was ultimately destroyed, but the Allies reigned victorious, gaining control of the route to Rome. Four battles took place between January and May, 1944.

Hofmeister and Grabow explains that in order to participate successfully in the political process and to devote to the development of democracy, political parties have to demonstrate certain capacities(Hofmeister and Grabow 1.4). These capacities are called “functions”. Following are some of the essential functions of political parties in modern democratic society. In presidential and parliamentary systems, political parties perform similar functions, but differ in the effectiveness and consequences.

...s party generally has the second most seats in the House of Commons. The leader of the Official Opposition party is in charge of leading the debates against the majority government’s policies, and proposes alternative legislature that reflects their party’s ideals. As a result of the parties raising issues and generating public debate, awareness is driven upwards and the public becomes educated by forming their own opinions on such matters. In short, the Official Opposition opposes the majority government party, and the public reacts. This way, the public who is represented by the Opposition still gets represented fairly in matters that concern them. Opposition parties are essential for a democracy to thrive because “without opposition, a government tends to drift towards complacency and presumptuousness and fails to search for alternatives” (Hoffmeister, 2011: 17).
