People go to work and fulfill their duties and responsibilities expecting that their employer would compensate their efforts with salary in the form of money and other perks and privileges such as insurance coverage and eligibility to be included in some government-sponsored public and social services programs. Whenever a person looks for a job, however, his choice would almost always be affected by this one thing: money. People would naturally be inclined to accept a job offer that promises to pay them periodically with more money compared to one that offers a lower salary. This reaction or behavior is nothing but natural unless ...

The Israel-Lebanese conflict as a whole involved a number of other nonstate actors, primarily terrorist and extremist militias such as the Amal, SSNP, LCP and PFLP-GC. These non-state ...

NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS

Robert Schuman’s notable phrase “Never war between us” is one of the most critically acclaimed lessons learned by most Europeans with regards to the topic of European unification and integration.

It can be noted that European integration, through the ECSC, started on a plan to control resources and production. This was also seen in the evolution of the European Defence Community and later the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy ...

When we speak of the Irish Renaissance, we can also be referring to a Celtic Renaissance. We call it the Irish Renaissance because it was championed principally by Irish writers, one of which, at least, used the Celtic tradition to invigorate the Renaissance. Ireland at the turn of the 20th century was mired in passions. Rebellion was always on the horizon, economic collapse was always imminent, the catastrophe of the Potato Famine was still a racial memory, and the rule of the English was still unbearable. From this potentially destructive social structure came some of the finest writing of ...

Given the increasing globalization of the film industry, Hollywood directors have begun to pull increasingly from international sources for their creative output. Looking into the small-but-potent international film markets, often directors from other countries are given the opportunity to cross-over into Hollywood. This is certainly the case with Asian cinema; many Asian film directors who have achieved success in Japan and Hong Kong have been given the chance to make films in America in order to provide a rapidly-consuming film market with the variety and quality it desires. In the 1980s and 1990s, two Asian directors in particular crossed over ...

Great Britain has been a witness to many conflicts that had led to a shift in international and regional politics, triggering the onset of policies and programs directed to either war or welfare.

With the trauma caused by the Great Wars to the nation, the British government alongside the monarchy had revised its programs to revive the once dominant British state towards the 20th century.

Neo-liberalism or rather neoliberal policies encompass a dominant social, political and economic model built upon the diminished role of the state whose role is relegated to the administration of poverty and the management of social conflict.

This model is further characterized by the abandonment by the state of its roles as the representative and mediator in the midst of other social actors. The effect of such neoliberal policies is that the social territory is left to the mechanisms of the market with no or little interference by the state. ...

Gustav Klimt was an important painter in the history of art, and one of the few artists appreciated in their own lifetimes. His portrait of Adele Bach Bauer I in particular illustrates how the flow of his life’s work ran through the Victorian Age, into the Edwardian era and influenced the genres that followed. In part, due to the times in which he lived he was exposed to a world in transition. Born on July 14, 1862 in the Austrian-Hungarian city of Baumgarten during the Victorian era he studied at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts until 1883. ...
