Having arrived to the UK in 2000 as a refugee with no understanding of English, I have had to overcome cultural and ethnic barriers throughout my life. As a result of my personal experience, diversity means: everyone should be able to achieve their goals without needing to reach a certain gender, class, race or cultural expectation. The Anglo-Saxon way of business is obsolete in our globalised markets, which means placing a value on diversity is critical for the success of any global firm.…
1.0 Introduction Human emotion contributes to decision-making process, however, it has always been viewed as an impediment in the quest of sensible decisions. Consequently, any exhaustive account of foreign policy-decision making should consider the impact of emotion such as anger, humiliation, revenge or fear when arriving at some decisions. Leaders – who run states – all over make decisions based on their own personalities, cultural values, experience, and basic emotion at a particular time.…
Brexit is a great example of this. When Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, stock markets around the world fell sharply. It is amazing how much effect one vote in one place can have on the whole world. If the world was not so flat, a vote in…

Authors apply the process of defamiliarization to enhance readers’ connections between the text and their lives.

In Stephen King’s “The End of the Whole Mess” and Richard Kadrey’s “Still Life with Apocalypse,” both authors discuss the leadership structures…

The purpose of the essay is to determine whether "the end justifies the mean" throughout Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince". With Machiavelli's principles in mind, it seems that we are faced with an issue regarding whether the desired ends can be justified by the means and if we use these potential principles as a way to achieve things we desire in life. The question whether the end justifies the means depends on the type of goal or outcome an individual wants to accomplish and the means that…
The Group Video Assignment has been the most creative assignment I have completed during my post-secondary education thus far. My favourite aspect of the assignment is its requirement to not only utilize an analytical approach in determining why European states are having difficulty cooperating in some areas, but also its requirement to utilize a creative approach to present the rationale. Regarding the division of the work for the assignment, it was more or less equally distributed between…

With the rise of several populist movements throughout the world in the past few decades, this question has come into prominence in political science literature. Although there are several lenses through which populist movements are defined and analyzed, no matter which definition of populism is used, it seems to produce a mixed bag of rights violations and securing of rights for underprivileged classes. The primary definition of…
Ireland as a state is a member of many international organisations, including the United Nations and the Council of Europe. The state is also a party to many international treaties and conventions. However, even though these agreements have been signed and acknowledged, they have no legal force within the state.
