    The Peterloo Revolution

    • 1812 Words
    • 8 Pages

    It was around 1799 that the French Revolution would finally come to an end. For Britain, the elites were strongly opposed to the Revolution’s ideologies - Liberty, equality, fraternity – afraid they would lose their political power. There was, unavoidably, a pressure for change: in this period, only middle and upper class men could vote. The press was under the censorship of the time leading to the government creating the “Taxes of Knowledge” - taxes and duties that would be imposed upon newspapers – designed to “limit the growth, circulation, and distribution of the press in general and of the radical press in particular” (Negrine 1989) so press would never talk negative things about the system. Workers would face up to eighteen hours of work per day for a very lower wage and children would start working from five years old with no access to education and completely robbed of their childhood. It was only by 1830s that slavery and child work would be banned for Britain but the country would still be in a process of change that would affect not only society, politics and economy, but also the press itself. Radicalism emerged at the end of the eighteenth century – a century full of corruption and war – and beginning of the nineteenth century. “Although essentially political in language and values (…) radicalism has generally been interpreted by historians in socio-economic terms by which the expanding middle and working classes of urban-industrial Britain sought to attain…

    They believe that events such as these are racist and create an unwelcoming envoronment for targeted groups. Hyun and Zimmerman also mentioned that it causes them to fear speaking out.

    The Pequot War Analysis

    • 745 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Many historians agreed that the main reason the Pequot War had started was because of the economic strain the Pequots had over the English. Kevin McBride writes in the Encyclopedia Britannica that Massachusetts Bay Colony sent the military to Pequot land “in order to exact retribution for [Oldham’s] death” (McBride, 2016, p. 1). However, Grandjean argues that there was a direct link between Oldham’s death and the starting of the Pequot War. Oldham may seem like a regular trader to some…

    Perhaps a more important aspect of physical health for police officers is cardio. Police officers are far more likely to need cardiovascular endurance while on the job. If conditioning is not good enough, the heart does not pump blood sufficiently to the body, and as a result, the officers cannot do their job properly (Oldham, 2001). Bisset, Bisset and Snell (2012) suggest that foot pursuits generally last no longer than 100 yards; therefore, should an officer train by running miles everyday or…

    The Job Characteristics Model, by Hackman and Oldham, is similar to Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory in many areas – wherein if jobs are enriched this would lead to improvement in outcomes in terms of attitudes and behaviours. However, Hackman and Oldham has improved on Herzberg’s model as they recognised the psychology of individual preferences through incorporating the moderators in the model. The Job Characteristics Model consists of five core job characteristics, three critical psychological…

    This group launched a severe expedition against the Manisses of Block Island in revenge for the murder of John Oldham, which was just a month earlier.

    Sergeant Oldham has not sufficiently orally briefed the JP when showing him the warrant application. The other issues are that the JP has possibly only read through the application and not asked sufficient detail regarding the application and ‘why’ and for ‘what’ the search is being conducted for. As emphasised in Crowley v Murphy (1981) 34 ALR 496 at 515, "It is for the Justice himself who must be satisfied ... he must ensure that a finding of reasonable grounds is supported by credible facts…
