On Thursday, June 23, 2016, a referendum was held in the United Kingdom (UK) to determine whether or not the UK was to remain in the European Union (EU). Nearly 30% million people, representing over 70% of the UK’s voting population, voted on the referendum (Hunt and Wheeler). Results were in favor of the UK leaving the EU, although the vote within England was a close 53% to 47% vote. Similarly, 52.5% of votes in Wales called for exiting the EU. The decision to leave the EU has become known as…

profit later on is a natural expectation. This notion of quid pro quo originally takes root in Putnam’s understanding of social capital, with a few important distinctions, in his theory of the success or failure of a state. So, as things in the United Kingdom continue to become more fragmented and social capital is lost, there will be definite setbacks to the economic growth of the nation as people start to trust one another less. To begin, it is first imperative to…

In the United Kingdom, during the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution was in full force, drastically changing labor in factories and working class living conditions. The changes brought by the Industrial Revolution created jobs for the working class and increased population, but also worsened working conditions and living conditions, and caused more children to be employed in unsafe working environments. Through the technological advancements and changes brought by the…

The police hold an essential role in the relationship between the state and its citizens. Mostly, they are central to discussions of fairness, justice, and equality before the law (Bloch & Solomos, 2009). Notably, the police are a coercive arm of the government through which majority of the public have frequent and direct contact. Bloch and Solomos (2009) assert that “the police are to the government as the edge is to the knife”. Moreover, the police have encounters with the public and shape…

This monumental decision is summed up into one word; “Brexit.” Brexit refers to the possibility of Britain leaving the European Union.

I guess I am a bit clueless on what is going on around the world today. As I am reading up on the UK abandoning the European Union I am starting to feel this was not a good decision from looking outside in; before making that finally decision I am going to investigate what happened let’s start. First off what is a referendum? Apparently is a voting that took place in the UK on June 23, 2016 that decided if the UK should remain or leave the European Union. Considering the leave vote won by 52%,…

it is fair to conclude that although there has been a slight shift from the Westminster model of government, this shift has proven to be both beneficial and vital for New Zealand’s society. Regardless, even with the shift, precedent from the United Kingdom is still used today. In addition, New Zealand’s parliamentary system has successfully been ranked as one of the longest surviving parliaments (Miller 2). This could be due to the changes that resulted throughout the years of adjusting the…

In this essay I will argue that religion is not inherently violent, it is in the nature of the people to be violent. I will do this by showing, through various case studies such as the Caribbean and de la Casas and the troubles in Northern Ireland. I will also use the Holocaust as a case because even though it may not have been religiously motivated, it is still grounded in the context of religion. These will help to further my view that it is the people who are violent because I will show that…

Besides the monetary amount the United Kingdom will save from no longer paying out membership fees and immigration benefits, leaving the European Union would allow for the UK to set up favorable independent trade negotiations with other nations.

According to the Conservative Party’s Chair of The Economic Affairs…
