This assignment will explore differences and similarities of two ideas of how social order can be created and maintained, using the findings of the Buchanan Report, ‘Traffic in Towns’ (Buchanan, 1963) and the ideas of Hans Monderman (late 20th century). In these instances the focus is the relationship between traffic and pedestrians, and how the governance of these variables act as agents in the creation of social order. Buchanan and Monderman explored how the relationship between traffic and pedestrians makes and remakes social order. Traffic congestion in Britain’s towns and cities increased in correlation with the exponential rise in car ownership following the conclusion of the Second World War (Silva, 2009, p.325). Buchanan was commissioned in 1961 by the UK Government to deliver the report ‘Traffic in Towns’.
Evaluate the motives for takeovers and mergers and evaluate how they link with corporate strategy. (40 Marks) A corporate strategy is a plan based on the corporate aims and objectives which defines the overall scope and direction of the business by identifying its choice of business, markets and activities. Corporate strategies are also likely to involve a significant investment in terms of time and resources, which makes them difficult to change.

Many aspects of our day to days lives including crime, news, information, disease, entertainment and goods are all crossing national boarders on a daily basis; a term that has been used to describe this merger of culture, economics and politics is globalization. Those that accept globalization generally agree that there are four distinguishing concepts: stretched social relations, intensification, interpenetration and infrastructure using these concepts as well as the theories of the globalists, inter-nationalists and transformationalists I will look at the question of whether globalization is new and inevitable from a cultural viewpoint. Over recent years the intensification of which cultural goods have been crossing the globe increased, in terms of value, nearly sixfold from $6,800m to $38,500m between 1970 and 1980 (Mackay, 2004, p 49). Although there is a variance between the countries and also between categories for example printed matter, cinema, music all have shown a significant growth. The development and availability of information technology has assisted in this growth taking as an example the amount of television receivers; per thousand inhabitants in the world this has increased fourfold between 1965 and 1997 (Mackay, 2004, p 49 ).
