Neoliberalism represents an attitude and structure of society which centers everything around the economy and promotes economic growth. On paper this may sound positive; however, this economic growth helps some at the expense of others in many occasions, and thus leaves a tear in the moral fabric of society. The Big Short, by Adam McKay and Charles Randolph, is a film that details the 2008 financial crash, and how a select few investors betted against what seemed to be the entire world and won.…

achieved, previously producing a 20th century Europe resembling a graveyard. Progressivism and its reliance on creating a utopia based on eugenics and racial theories is where Hitler got many of his ideas. In today’s society, think 1% political elite, corporatism, international bankers and what looks like the beginnings of a police…

for the privatization of government funds and deregulation to benefit the elite few who run the country. This activity has gone far beyond the idea that freedom and capitalism go hand in hand, in fact, as Naomi Klein puts it, it is the rise of corporatism.

Fascism can sometimes be confused with communism, but they are different in the sense that fascism is based on the restoring of one’s country and focusing on forming a Utopian society. Hitler is a well-known fascist leader because he was convinced that the disposal of one group of people would cause the renewal of Germany.…

INTRODUCTION One of the major challenges Japanese firms encounter when expanding overseas is in managing the culture of their overseas subsidiaries. The organizational structure and culture of the subsidiary plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of various management practices (Kull and Wacker, 2010). The organizational culture is partly reflected in the way in which a company manages its human resources (Schneider, 1988) and this could potentially lead to either positive or…

What were the Three Estates? The Three Estates were the three social classes of France during the old regime. The Three Estates consisted of three social classes, which were the First, Second, and Third Estates. The First Estate was made up of the clergy, the Second Estate was made up of nobles, and the Third Estate…

conflicts have allowed to change the framework. Since there are new actors rising because they are interested in the issue, they create new impacts and other actors become irrelevant. In Australia, the national elections adapted their approach to Neo-corporatism because the actors in play had changed; these represented the interests of rivalling political groups . This argument is illustrated by studying the case of the regional forests in Australia, where the state manages environmental…

Tim Berners-Lee is a name unfamiliar to most. He is the inventor of perhaps one of the greatest innovations of our time that we use frequently and on a daily basis; the World Wide Web (Internet).
