In this essay, I will be contrasting the Resurrection Man from the ‘Mysteries of London’ with the real life bodysnatchers of Burke and Hare, two Irish men who carried out a series of murders over 10 months in Edinburgh in the 1820’s. Burke and Hare are probably the most famous of the real life bodysnatchers from the Victorian era. Like the Resurrection Man, the two used ‘burking’, the process of killing someone ’quietly or indirectly’ and in a manner so as to cause as little as possible visible…

tested invalid pensions in October 1910. But, it was not until the 1970’s that serious debates began about treatment or rehabilitation. The most important issues debated during the Whitlam’s government were specifically on payments given strictly to pensioners and employees. In the 1970’s Woodhouse proposed a national compensation scheme (Mendelsohn, 1979). In 1983 the Hawke government made significant reforms, such as the Handicapped Programs Review and New Directions 1985. “Those programs…

transferring it, to ensure that it is secure and can’t be accessed even if it is lost. An example of mis-sold services would be between 2010 and 2013 Santander mis sold investment plans and didn’t explain the investment opportunities to mostly pensioners, most of which were advertised as well established and would double back their money, but in reality were not even proper companies and a lot of the people never saw their money again.

Due to taxation Germany were forced to raise prices on everything from a loaf of breed. This also meant that students, pensioners and most people with investments had to lose of all their money. This annihilated the Weimar Government and turned there popularity to an all-time low and allowed other parties to start making the final stretch to…

In Esping-Andersen (1990), they describe three types of welfare states; liberal, conservative, and social democratic. Each model places higher value on what is important for their society. For example, in the liberal welfare state, the market is a keystone to their welfare system, whereas in the conservative welfare state family and contribution to society are placed higher in value. Germany is often considered to be a conservative welfare state, with large emphasis given to civil society and…

Imagine working 80 hours a week and still not having enough money to feed your family. Imagine sending your chidren to school in old second hand uniform. Imagine telling your children you could not afford for them to go out with their friends. For many families in Britain this has been the case since October 2014 when the amount of people on the minimum wage doubled. In 1998 the labour goverment introduced the National Minimum Wage which ensured that people over the age of 18 years old were…

of this, in 1946 the National Insurance was implemented to give benefit or compensation for workers who got injured at work. It was then updated in late 1946 to give benefits to people who are unemployed, widows, and mothers on maternity leave, pensioners, sickness allowance and death grants (Pearce, 1994).
