After Marshal Tito retied, Yugoslavia announced a decentralization plan; Belgium and Czechoslovakia are heading towards federation. The federalist government of Pakistan began as an expedient solution to the political discord extant at the close of British imperial control of India. The Hindus and the Muslims united to cast off the British, but then the Muslims demanded to have their own nation. This resulted in two territories geographically separated by a thousand miles ...

The Arab Spring has been going on for the last two years. While the peaceful protest that started in Tunisia was over in the country after about 3 months, it took Libya about 6 months to finally stampede over the authoritative regime of Kaddafi.

Libya’s revolution backfired as the absence of a central authority led to civil unrest and the rise of extremists’ movements. In Egypt, the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011 was seen as the culmination of freedom and the triumph of democracy ...

As an example, a business can use a case study to demonstrate how their product or service has been ...

The assumption that changes are as good as rest is not always taken positively when it is eventually put into practice. Often than not, reorganization is feared and strongly resisted because it brings around disturbances of the status quo, a threat to individuals vested interests in their jobs.

Vehement resistance to cultural, ethical and professional changes as is witnessed in the New Zealand Police Unit.

Importance of Utilitarian Benefits over Moral Justice

In my own judgment, the possible utilitarian benefits of building the Caltex plant were not more important than the violations of moral law and justice. Building the Caltex in deed seemed to present more benefits for the discriminated groups in the country.

These principles were a set of six guidelines which served as a policy which the companies would follow to promote equal treatment between their black, colored, and white employees.
