The Government Inspector

Priestley's “An Inspector Calls” is a dramatic play that investigates the case of a poverty-stricken girl, Eva Smith, who commits suicide. A rich family, the Birlings, and Gerald Croft are inspected by Inspector Goole to find their link to the death of Eva. Each character has a different reaction when they discover they are responsible for Eva’s death, which reveals their personality traits of egocentricity, denial, and naivety; hence, the personality traits show some of the attitudes of wealthy…

The play ‘An Inspector Calls’, was written in 1945 by writer J.B Priestley. Its story revolves around a middle-class family called the Birlings, whom are celebrating the engagement of their daughter, Sheila. However, the play undergoes a subtle shift in mood and tone as an inspector lets them know that they have taken part in the suicide of a young lady called Eva Smith. Priestley chose to develop each character in the play in such a way that they all bring a lesson into the drama. Perhaps one…

legitimacy of the inspectors lessons. During this time we see the divide between the older and younger members of the Birling family, and how they choose to accept or hide their responsibility. During the Inspectors speech, he states that “We are not alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other.” This lecture to the Birlings outlines the central theme of…

daughters at those times. However gradually when the inspector is introduced, Priestley presents her as more mature and responsible for when she takes full responsibility for what she did to Eva Smith which led her to committing suicide. This reflects the idea of socialism that people in society should take responsibility and should look after one another. He presents her in stage directions, the structure of the play and the language used. As the inspector Is introduced, we see a change in…

At the start of the play the Birling family is celebrating happily Sheila's engagement to Gerald Croft.

Sheila Birling is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Birling is described at the start as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited", most probably because of her engagement to Gerald Croft. Her hopes and plans for the future are to have a…

This can include, loss of lives, assets, environment or wealth. The “catastrophic event” in question must wholly come from inadequate government implemented policies. This includes policy that was poorly thought out, poorly implemented, or policy which once implemented, resulted in an unfavourable outcome. In plain words, a regulatory disaster is any policy that made circumstances for a…

protections for children’s working conditions using regulatory inspectors. While laying these foundations led to further reform that built upon new ways of thinking on how to assist more people, its actual effectiveness left much to be desired, rendering it limited in terms of execution and scope. The 1833 Factory Act was arguably a critical piece of legislation in Social and Public Policy history due to being the first time the government took responsibility for enforcing laws concerning…

my role was Diane Schwier, an aggregate inspector with the ministry of natural resources. In order to change the outcome of the quarry not being built I and the other Diance Schwier could have done more advocating against the quarry. As a part of provincial government, we could have talked with other provincial government peoples about why we should vote against it. In my case, voting against the quarry did not make a lot of sense as an aggregate inspector however we could have also prepared…

There have been many dictators in the world. Some examples of some past dictators include names such as: Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-Un, and Joseph Stalin. A dictatorship is a type of government where one person, or leader, has complete control over the entire country that they are ruling over. That ruler has control of everything that any citizen can or cannot do. Such as: what they can say about that leader, what they can do for a living, and how well they are treated or how poorly they are treated…

Additionally, since the government has an objective to spend money wisely, monitoring and evaluation plays a role to prove value for money. Evaluation evidence on cost-effectiveness produced by analysts in government departments, by academics, consultancies, and other arm’s-length organisations commissioned by government are responsible for analyse the effectiveness of policy in a range of fields, which is then used in decision-making…
