Media Transformation, Research, Historical Events, and Technological Development
Even before the 1980s, different media platforms thrived to disseminate information to the masses such as newspapers in circulation since the early 1990s, radio, and film among others. Nonetheless, during the early 1990s, there was little interest in studying media and its impact on people. Most scholars then dismissed the media as useless even after World War II when people demanded information about current events then (Douglas, 2008, p. 78). Other scholars who studied the media before highlighted the limited or less pronounced impact of media on people particularly when ...

In the mid-nineteenth century classical school of political economy was in crisis, as its theory was based on the interpretation of cost values and could explain some of the pressing problems of the economy. The weakest point of the classical school was that it was poorly focused on the subject-user, for which production takes place. The opinion of the classical school was confined to the manufacturer. An exit of the crisis was found by the marginalists. This direction of economic thought emerged in the last third of the XIX century in the center of this system is subject to ...

The political upheavals that shook much of the Arab World when the Arab Spring first broke out in 2010 introduced the region to a political trend that has swept much of the world during the 20th century – democratization. Although the Arab World is, in many ways, a “late-bloomer” in terms of adopting democratic virtues, the fact that several people from Arab nations have expressed their dissent through manifestations distinct to the globalized world shows how globalization has opened the eyes of the people against authoritarian regimes (Smith &Gaviria, 2013). The mass demonstrations that toppled long-standing authoritarian figures in nations such as ...

Marx’s Economic Analysis
Theory of Surplus Value
Marx’s theory of surplus value proposed that the surplus product (surplus value) remains in the whole social product (net national income) after the production classes (workers) received their compensation (wages) (Mendel n. p.). According to Marx in his theory of classes, it is the ruling class (capitalists and politicians) who appropriates the surplus value that can be found in three different forms: (a) unpaid surplus labor (slave mode of production); (b) goods directly used (product of surplus labor), and; (c) cash.

Introduction

This study aims to explore how the manifestation of mercantilism has provided support to globalization. There is an understanding that financial developments have helped sustain globalization amidst internal hindrances mostly involving the emergence of monopolies and external interferences in the form of market globalization. At the same time, however, financial developments became a sustainer of globalization due to its depreciative effects to excess capital. It is therefore noteworthy to investigate globalization, in light of the events that triggered the global financial crisis of 2008 – something that this study seeks to discuss (Blankenburg & Palma, 2009; Boyer, 2000, pp. 111-145; Helleiner, 1995, ...

Abstract

While power is a secular affair these days, ethics and moral with their connection to religion seem related to what refers to activities associated with the governance of people and territories. Of course, neither of the two provides a comprehensive view of the complex notion of politics, yet both complement the concept with precious meaning. Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

Introduction

The influence of the family's life to the members of the family has diminished immensely in the past century especially in developed countries. As the culture spreads throughout the globe to conservative societies, more cases of divorce, separation and single-parent families increase. The instability and increased cases of collapsing marriages are attributed to the freedom the young people explore in making their decisions without parental consent or active involvement of senior (and experienced) family members. In many industrialized countries, families experience violence and abuse more than in primitive, conservative societies. As the young people choose to live with the ...

The concept of ''liberalism'' emerged in the early 19th century in European political literature. For the first time this term was used in Cadiz Constitution in Spain in 1811, when a group of politicians defined the constitution drawn up by them as liberal. Later this concept was included in the English, French, and then in all the European languages. The term ''liberalism’' comes from the Latin ''liberalis'' which means freedom (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Today, liberalism is a complex system that characterizes the economic and political relations in the country. Initially, liberalism was a purely political notion; economic sphere, although emphasized, was not ...

Book Review: The Wealth of Nations- Systems of Political Economy

In Systems of Political Economy, the fourth part of his famous book, An Inquiry into the Causes and Nature of the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith is critical of the economic theories and policies of that time for being unfavorable and resistant to the development of the common people and their economic status. He criticizes the mercantile viewpoint that wealth is money, that is, gold and silver, only because it is used for commercial purposes, that is, to buy commodities and labor. This view made the governments restrict the ...

In the second half of the 20th century, Japan rose from a small defeated nation to a commercial powerhouse second to the United States. Several factors contributed to its success and the entire economic power attached to it at that time. It is exceptionally transitional to see upcountry take advantage of war situations between struggling economies to rise to an excellent economy like Japan did. The war situation between the United States and Russia became a norm rather than an exception to Japan in terms of economic benefits (Palan, 2000, p. 106). It was not entirely based on the culture of the ...

In the realm of international trade, nations must work together to achieve the outcomes they are looking for. This is known as collective action. In spite of the benefits of collective action, there is a dilemma that arises in the form of nations who do not pull their weight, coming up short in the overall inventory of contributions, both in supplies and funds, to other countries it is trading with. From a liberal perspective, collective action must be taken in order to create a more just level of product and an economically stable system that benefits all. However, this cannot be done ...

For a better part of 19th century, various expressive art forms such as orchestral music, Shakespearean drama, sculptures, paintings, and opera enjoyed mass popularity and high-cultural status. However, in America, people shared a culture that was less organized (hierarchically), and less divided into rigid adjectival categories. With time, American arts became increasingly renowned for a growing chasm of “high” and ‘low” culture. Specifically, highbrow culture appeals to the affluent sections of the society who have enough disposable incomes to spend on services and goods that are more expensive and of higher quality. It requires a culture ...

Resource curse has been one of the most debated economic issues for the past four to five decades.

The theory of natural resource curse can be founded back from the 1970s. Resource curse has been an important topic for researchers since two subsequent decades; multiple research efforts have proposed the association between the production of resources, numerous socio-political ills, and, economic underperformance. The role of natural resources in the growth of the economy has been a question of immense debate.

Slavery, which the South frequently referred to as its “peculiar institution,” had an enormous impact on American history.

Introduction

One of the earliest tenets of the American government is the need for checks and balances in order to maintain a sense of equality and fairness in the choices being made for the American people. The US Constitution implements the separation of powers and checks and balances through the use of various overriding powers that each branch of government has over the other. For example, while Congress can approve a bill for legislation, the president has the opportunity to veto it if he does not like it. Congress, meanwhile, can impeach the president if they feel he is not performing according ...
