European Union (EU) and played an important role in the development of this community. However, it is the hot topic that UK Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a referendum to be held on June 2017, in order to answer the question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the EU or leave the EU?” It is uncertain what the exact answer is, since no country has ever done it before.

From the twentieth century onwards, Canada has become an independent nation in the world as the British Empire has past the Statue of Westminster 1931. It is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which agrees the separations of colonies from the British Empire. With the independence, Canada has its own choices to draw up policies and make decisions. When the war has broken out in 1939 because of the German invasion of Poland, the Canadian government has also made the decision of…

For me, social policy is not only a deeply interesting area of study, but the initiatives regarding council housing, minimum wage, and the welfare state have profoundly influenced and shaped my life. As a child I was not aware of it, but my family was one of those making difficult decisions in order to get by. My parents both worked hard; for instance, my mother drove an hour each way to a job that would keep her until 8pm most days, but for a minimum wage that would barely cover food and…

Since the Irish parliament was dissolved in 1801 and Ireland was enveloped in the new United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Ireland) under the Act of Union, many Irishmen and women have at one point or another planned and carried out insurrections against the tyranny of the English.

On that…

“We are but parts of a whole, and therefore there must exist a power somewhere to preside, and preserve the connexion due order. This power is lodged in the Parliament; and we are as much dependent on Great Britain as a perfectly free people can be on another” (Dickinson). John Dickinson was a patriot until 1776, when he started to question if the colonists really needed to break away from England. He supported colonial rights, but did not support independence from Britain. Dickinson was one out…

Completing the assessment on conflict management I was able to determine my conflict management style from highest to lowest. My highest conflict handling style was compromising with avoiding being my lowest. During the assessment questions I based my answers on how I would handle situations at work. At work I approach conflicts in a manner in which is best for the company, achieves a long term solution and what option is the most financially feasible. At times this means compromising to…

On Thursday, June 23rd the people of Britain went to the polls and made a decision that will reshape history for the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. The referendum vote to leave the European Union, commonly referred to as Brexit, is not one many people predicted would pass. However, a combination of factors––economic, social, and political––building up enough tension and anxiety in the British people, lead a very split electorate to the polls where the referendum vote was their outlet…

questions from Members of Parliament. These questions are meant to address current events both international and domestic, and have come to be known as Prime Minister Questions (PMQs). All Members of Parliament must write their questions for the Prime Minister on the Order Paper several days prior to the PMQs. Once submitted, the questions are then sorted through, scrambled, and randomly selected by a computer. Each selected question conveys which Members of Parliament (MPs) will be allowed to…
