The current consumer regime in Australia came into effect on 1st January 2011. The sole aim of this thesis is to compare and contrast the present day consumer regime legislations and the pre-2011 ones.

The Australian Consumer Law of 2011 (ACL) can be defined as “a national, state and territory law from 1 January 2011 and includes unfair contract terms legislation introduced on 1 July 2010’. Under this legislation, all consumers have the same entitlements and all businesses too have the same responsibilities and ...

Introduction

The Berlin Conference of 1884 to 1885 which is also referred to as the Congo Conference signified a powerful role in the regulation of European colonization as well as free trade in parts of Africa during the period of neo-imperialism.

History

The Louisiana Purchase – is one of the most important events in the early history of the United States.
In 1762, Louisiana became a colony of Spain. New Orleans (now the largest city of the state), located on the territory of Louisiana had a very favorable geographical position.

I. Introduction
The Arab-Israeli conflict may seem to be one of the longest-lasting international feuds of the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, but in reality the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict is rooted in actions and changes that took place only in the late nineteenth century.

According to Riedel, the violence of the Arab-Israeli conflict has ...

The Cherokee removal took place between 1838 and 1839 because of the Cherokee leaders embracing the civilization policy. The Cherokee leaders embraced the civilization from the white man.

In a UN referendum in 1973, Morocco pushed its claim of Western Sahara and proclaimed that it actually belonged to their kingdom (Maghouri, p. 114). It threatened Spain with war so that Spain wil move out of the said teritories. Morrocco pressured Spain and brought the case to the International Court of Justice. After this, Morocco, together with Mauritania, successfully claimed Western Sahara. Spain handed it over to these two neighboring countries. In 1975, the International Court did not historically legitimize Morocco’s claim. Instead, it independently entitled the territory as Western Sahara (BBC Online, p. 1).

The Acadian expulsion, as much as it happened long time during the 1750s, continues to be a highly controversial topic in the annals of North America. The Canadian Nationalists, especially those that affiliated to France, continue to demand that Queen Elizabeth offers an apology for the Acadian expulsion. In 1990, an attorney from Cajun, Warren Perrin, had threatened that he would sue the British regime if the apology for the British misdeeds is not made. Of course, the topic is a subject of division. Some have stood for the fact that an apology should never be made. Yet others have argued ...

Mathematical model.

In 1985, Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) presented a simple mathematical model for the spread of the rabies epidemics to approximate the minimum width of a break and enable the control of the spatial progression of rabies.

Features and assumptions of the model.

The model developed by Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) was based on a deterministic approach where the fox populations were categorized into two groups, namely infective and susceptible foxes. In this classification, the infective foxes included those with rabies virus present in their saliva while the susceptible ones included those without traces of rabies virus in their saliva. One of the assumptions ...

The British Empire is one of the most extensive empires in the world history. The empire is said to have ruled a population of between four hundred and seventy to five hundred and seventy million people by 1921, which is equivalent to a third of the world population.

Hamas movement has been perceived over the years as an Islamist extremist terrorist movement. This perception has been informed by the mission behind the formation of the movement which is in a nutshell, the obliteration of Israel and the ultimate establishment of a Palestinian state. Besides, the perception derives justification from the religious ideologies such as fundamentalism and radicalization often associated with Islamism and adopted by the Hamas in addition to several terrorist activities that have been carried out by the movement (Pettersen, 2009). However, this paper seeks to portray the Hamas as a movement in pursuit of self-determination ...

Otherwise, the consequences could be rather negative for the rest of contemporary multipolar world. According to Mearsheimer, multipolarity is more likely to cause potential conflict dyads, that the previous bipolar world, when the conflicts could be generally caused by two great existing powers (Brown, 1998).

How often we have heard that it is the first impressions that tend to last? Regardless of whether the statement holds true or not, it makes one wonder - what constitutes the first impression? It is not only the dress we wear or the words we say, but also the hidden messages sent by our body unconsciously and this is by far the most important of all impressions. The moment we meet someone, we subconsciously judge him or her on the basis of these overlooked movements of the body and this impression sticks even though the entire process takes ...
