reform passed is that, in many cases, legislators “pay lip service to limiting or eliminating franking” while continuing to exploit and protect the system as it exists (Sellers 132). In addition, current jurisprudence on the subject has created a doctrine of “government speech” which makes it…
the people began with subtle racist connotations, slowly easing into stronger statements. Although the whole world was the audience for Hitler’s propaganda, the main focus was Germany. In Adolf Hitler 's own words, “propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people… [It] works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea,” (“Nazi Propaganda,” paragraph 1). Hitler enforced his ideals publicly through the use of many kinds of…
As a social worker, working with teenagers who are dealing with coming out as a gay or lesbian and utilizing the empowerment theory, which primarily focuses on the oppressed teenager on a one-on-one form of micro level or focal system, does not exclude or count out the larger levels on a macro scale, which can be individuals within a large group of teenagers coming out as a gay or lesbian, their family members within their subsystem and or suprasystems environment. “The empowerment theory…

Much discussions on the writing-translation motivation of Legge is evangelical. I suggest to reconsider the writing motivation of Legge from author-reader a prior. Choosing The Story of Abraham is not only to consider the publication year of 1857 which can have parallel reading with his The Notions of the Chinese Concerning God and Spirits, but also we can identify the identity of Legge as co-author-translator-interpreter. A brief introduction of The Story of Abraham is needed. After that,…

The applicant would have to hire a solicitor or equivalent which in all probability has little or no experience with EU law in general and less experience in the particular case law relevant to the summons in question. Therefore any solicitor would not only have to spend the usual time to prepare…
While Jews certainly did prosper in medieval western Christendom - in Spain, England, France and the Holy Roman Empire - it is arguable whether this occurred during times of true Christian persecution, for this phrase implies a coherent, general and importantly, state-backed, form of oppression, which did not exist until late in the period.
