This paper will compare and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of Dominique Clément’s “The October Crisis of 1970: Human rights abuses under the War Measures Act”, and Ross Lambertson’s “The Black, Brown, White and Red Blues: The Beating of Clarence Clemons”. Both articles are rich with facts and explore fascinating issues in Canadian human rights history. That being said, this paper will argue that Clément’s article is superior. Clément’s article is better organized with clearer diction and style, and has stronger and more straightforward support for his argument than Lambertson’s article does.…

(Battilossi 14) The extremely low mortgage rates were really important, because they motivated people to rush to buy real estate. Even people who ordinarily would never be able to pay off mortgage got in on the action.…

The auto industry attained back its health, the Motor City slowly crawled its way back from a near-death economic experience to rebirth as a imperative business hub.…
In terms of analyzing the financial crisis, most of the researches had been done based on the traditional critical discourse analysis. Bickes, Otten and Weymann (2014) concentrate on the instances of metaphorical language in the news coverage of three international news magazines to investigate how these three media present the crisis differently.

Background and Significance Decreasing resources for outpatient psychiatric services in the community have increased ER presentations of patients with psychiatric concerns. Many ERs are not equipped to assess patients with psychiatric problems, as a result a patient with psychiatric concerns can wait 12-24 hours in the ER for assessment, a practice known as boarding, which has been reported to cost hospital systems approximately $2,264 per patient on average.

The Financial Crisis of 2008 has been attributed to various entities or regulations. While most of these conjectures make valid points, attributing such an immense series of events to just one or two entities or regulations is benighted. Arguably, what set the precedence for the ensuing crisis is influenced by who you ask but, a case can be made for the most apparent events that did impact the crisis. The names Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, CRA (Community Reinvestment Act 1977), and AIG are just a few among all the conceivable notions.…
When looking at the Great Depression, America as a country did not want to go through a struggle of that magnitude again. However we managed to see a similar situation about fifty years after the depression and another present day. Although neither of these was as bad as the Great Depression these recessions show us that the President control of the economy is simply fortune. The President can influence the economy but controlling the economy is more sophisticated than people think. In addition any expansion experienced in that Presidents term in office is mainly predetermined by the harshness of the recession that may have occurred before him.…
