The government's legitimacy – the citizen's feeling that government rule is rightful and should be obeyed - is fading. According to the USA PATRIOT Act, Title II and III however, the government has extended rights to gather foreign intelligence information from both US and non-US citizens, without having to show probable cause to obtain a warrant, to share electronic, wire, and oral interception information with other federal agencies, and the FBI to use secret warrants to obtain medical, business, and library records. The other common signs of system breakdowns are also showing in low levels. Because of the large economic downturn, both inflation and unemployment are up, the police are typically armed (though not to the extreme), and corruption is evident – some made more so by this development. Though America is not in an economic growth, it is industrialized, and so it has citizens feeling relative deprivation, and plenty of intellectuals to fuel the dissent of the NSA revealings.
How and to what extent has globalisation diminished the sovereignty of the UK Parliament? Sovereignty within the United Kingdom was historically controlled by the monarchy and government, in the midst of criminal and civil law, trade and industry, and taxation all within their scope, however in the last century sovereignty has slowly diminished due to influences from overseas and globalisation. Globalisation is a complicated term to define because not only does it refer to the mergence of two countries economically but through education, society and politics. Globalisation integrates many people of all nations through the common medium like the economy. The extent to which globalisation has diminished the sovereignty of the UK parliament
With the foundation of a federal government, that government can regulate and maintain both domestic and international trade without individual state interference, therefore making the United States one of the most important trading countries in the western world. This is only one possible explanation, another might be that they honestly did purely want to build a government for the people of the United States and by the people, which is supported by Paul Johnson’s writings. Other debates between intentions lie behind the injection of United States into the Vietnam conflict. Some historians say that the reason for our entrance into the conflict was to protect democracy and stop the spread of communism. Others say that the U.S. involvement wasn’t to protect democracy but to protect our economic interests in the nearby South Pacific and Middle East.
It is therefore threatening the cultural identities of many countries because this one culture is being largely promoted due to the dominance of the western media and media imperialism. However Curran argues the concentration of media ownership has been about for ages. In the 1930s half the UK media was owned by just 4 corporations. It is therefore not a new thing and so it’s not necessarily the concentration of the media that is threatening cultural identities as they would have been threatened a long time ago if this was the case. Marxists argue against Curran’s view and state that it must be the media imperialism that is threatening cultural identities; with new media and globalisation, media companies have immense power and so can and are threatening on a larger scale.
During the times of the constitutional debates, the expression of commerce was generally restricted to deep-water transportation of goods to foreign powers. The founding fathers wanted to control the tariff rate among states in order to create a unified trading machine that would not conflict each other and hold a structure of equal trading ability working together instead of competing to hold contracts with other countries advancing the country, not just the individual state. During the debate, the word commerce was used in regards to deep water shipping 83% of the time. This held that trade among the states was fully unregulated and that the power and regulation of both intrastate and interstate trade was to be left up to the states. This lack of unregulated trade created an environment which was suited for the development of state ran
It is this force that essentially created this gap. Western nations taking valuable resources, including humans, from “third-world countries” allowed for those countries to be set back. Through economic means, the western countries underdeveloped their colonies by changing the industries to provide only raw materials. Yet, it is claimed that those countries created their own conditions and are the only ones to blame for their lack of advanced culture. Overpopulation is another idea used to blame the “third-world countries” while countries in Western Europe have a higher density.
Define Research Purpose The international sales research is important to the marketing and sales team that works in companies that sell products and services to overseas countries. Due to the cross cultural difference, the research interprets market behavior and helps strategize sales and marketing tactics for the company (Craig, 1999). The research also investigates cultural variation to help the company obtain a larger advantage to sell their product and service to the oversea companies. The Business Problem
Please comment. (graded) a) How can sales managers use the recruiting process to ensure that the salespeople that are hired are good team players? b) What kinds of questions can be asked in the interview to test if a candidate has strong teamwork skills and experience? c) What are some of the problems associated with poorly-executed recruitment and selection of sales people? MKTG 420 Week 4 DQ 2 Training The first and most important step in designing a sales training program is the assessment of training needs, which provides the starting point for setting training goals and designing the program.
For example the British Empire has exerted its influence through the widespread use of the English Language, the drinking of tea and playing cricket. Today the most influential culture is that of the USA which is know referred to as ‘Americanisation.’ It’s the globalisation of American businesses and technology such as Disney that has had a huge impact on influencing other countries such as the UK. However not all cultural influences have a positive impact as seen with the idea of capitalism in America. An economic system in which property is privately owned and goods are privately produced may not be highly agreed with countries such as Asia and South Africa but it’s the huge influence it has on globalisation that is making it more and more popular. Geographical power is the third
Stabilized traditional countries by uniting rival people. Communication was a result along with new schools and hospitals. The cons of western imperialism were the World Wars were caused by imperialistic ideas. Competition raged the tension between nations. Heavy taxes on the smaller countries disrupted local economies.
