Eastern people. Everyone has begun to assume that these attacks have to do with the excess amount of Syrian Refugees. This is not the case, in fact, all of the identified assailants involved in the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015 were citizens of European Union countries. Although the attacks were most likely coordinated by Islamic State operatives, the radicalism was “homegrown” and cannot be placed on Syrian refugees. The negative connotation with the Islamic religion really broke out after…
them. Singer’s example of the Bengali refugees corresponds directly to the threat that the Syrian refugees pose to the greater good, or level of happiness within our global society. It’s important to note that it’s not only the responsibility of European governments to create systems for resettlement because of their proximity to the situation, as Singer points out with the Bengali crisis, but governments around the world including the United States, must cooperate across international borders…
Historically, religion has played a pivotal role in the development of European Democracy; however, there has always been a conscious effort towards a secular state. Recently religion has become a more salient issue with an increase in the Muslim population, but there remains a perception that religion experiences a decline in importance. Although religious influence might not be explicit, many Europeans still identify with a certain religion and the church still plays a role in policy making,…
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%, what is the backlash for the UK leaving the European Union? What does this mean…
It resulted in stringent audits conducted by the United States, the European Union and other national governments which brought into light large discrepancies between diesel engine emission test results and real life emissions. As a result, a number of governments in the European Union are currently reconsidering fiscal advantages established to incentivise the sale of diesel vehicles. This has given the opportunity for European governments to reconsider the fiscal advantages linked to diesel…
reasons as to why the relationship between turkey and European Union is regarded to be problematic . These problems are related to turkey’s geographic location, democratic nature, economic stability, as well as the cultural and historical background of the country. Basically, as far as geography is concerned, Turkey is considered to be in Asia, hence cannot be a European Union member. Turkey is also underdeveloped, hence being a member of European Union would result to financial constraint on EU…
When assessing a country there are precautions a business must take. Country risk has been traditionally viewed in terms of political, economic and legal risks. Political risks are often assessed in terms of country stability and sometimes measured by the level of confidence in a government. Economic risks are reflected in levels of national growth, inflation, unemployment, balance of trade and taxes. Legal risks are traditionally viewed in terms of common law, civil law, and theocratic law. How…
While movement of people, food and manufactured goods do have negative impact on public health however it will be a negative approach to take steps to reduce the movement of people, flow of manufactured goods and movement of food. Let’s start with the movement of people. This is the single most critical thing that accounts for human growth and development. United States of America is the world super power and more importantly world’s hub for soft power. It has best brains in engineering,…
this crisis began when Europe tried to become more like the United States in its way of being unified with a single currency. In Europe, each country’s economy is very different. The price of Euros appropriate for each country varies, but the European Union had to make it consistent across the board. This causes problems for richer and more developed countries, such as Germany, as well as poorer and less developed economies, such as Greece. Initially, joining the Euro was great…
miles at the longest. In the Austrian border town of Nickelsdorf, a highway was closed because 10,000 migrants were moving in from Hungary. These nations claim the checks result in more uniform flows of people. These conditions are a test to the European Union (EU) border policy of free travel. For 30 years the continent has generally allowed its citizens to travel freely among the countries that compromise it, but with hordes of migrants coming in, and the end of such movement unclear, there…
