Is there Democracy in Pakistan?
IS THERE DEMOCRACY IN PAKISTAN “The army in Pakistan has announced the dismissal of the government after seizing control of key installations across the country” BBC reported on 12th of October 1999. Pakistan has a worst social and political setup since its independence. Some of the most important changes in the world since late eighteenth centaury, like the policy of “glasnost” (transparency) in the former Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin wall, the fall of soviet union and social and political changes in the world have made the representative democracy as the most appropriate political system in the world. Due to this many countries of Europe and most important most of the developing countries adopted democracy as the base of their political setup. After British left from Indian subcontinent, the representative democracy was adopted in South Asia. Pakistan, a developing country, also adopted this democratic setup. The history of democratic system in Pakistan is very complex and difficult to interpret. People do ask many questions regarding the existence of democracy in Pakistan. Some say there is democracy in Pakistan and some say there is not, but in my view Pakistan does not have a democratic system. Before going into the issue of existence of democracy in Pakistan we must see the basic and precise definition of “Democracy”. According to the

Title: Being Part of a team is more important than leading it By: Priyanka Pattekar Class: Team Skills Cohort – Monthly EMBA Chokra Word Count :1887 ( Excluding Bibliography) ________________ Being part of a team is more important than leading it." Discuss. Author William Nippard on teamwork states that “more than 80% of fortune 500 companies subscribe to teamwork. Teamwork brings success no matter how you define victory.”[1] Teamwork is about a group of people working towards a common objective in a mutually agreeable manner. Being part of team can be a highly rewarding and can help both the individual and the team with increases in individual and organizational creativity, innovation and synergy. A leader whilst definitely plays a role in the team’s outcome cannot take advantage of these factors to the same extent that a team member can. These “team” rewards as well as personal rewards such as self-development and organistational effectiveness are key reasons that being part of the team is more important than leading. Being part of the team can increase personal creativity and learning new skills and help to deliver any output. In today’s complex business environment, teams are an essential mechanism for delivering any output from building a car to deploying an IT system. Teamwork provides a climate of collaboration such as that ideas can be shared and

Totalitarian Nationalism in Nazi Germany.
Totalitarian Nationalism in Nazi Germany The main reason why the Nazi Party gained so much popularity among Germans, was that their policies appealed to German nationalism. People enthusiastically voted for the Nazi Party and on 30th January 1933 Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. German nationalism, stirred up after World War 1, was an important part of Nazi policy. It ultimately gave Hitler and the Nazis total control over all aspects of German life. Nazism is a belief that the Aryan (pure German) is a supreme form of human being and that the Jews, Communists and Slavic people are racially inferior (Untermenschen). In principle the Nazis also believe in military conquer, subjugation and eventual extermination of these people. Hitler describes his belief in Aryan superiority in his autobiography "Mein Kampf" " All the human culture, all the results of art, science and technology that we can see before us today, are almost exclusively the creative product of the Aryan. Hence it is no accident that the first cultures arose in places where the Aryan, in his encounters with lower peoples, subjugated them and bent them to his will. They then became the first technical instrument in the service of a developing culture...." (Luedecke, K. I Knew Hitler) Hitler and the Nazis also believe in tight control of society, national greatness and the right to acquire new

Consider the effects of the monsters testimony. What themes does is address, what does it tell us about the monsters character? How does it make you feel about Frankenstein and the Delacey's? Frankenstein is considered to be the greatest Gothic Romantic Novel. It is also generally thought of as the first science fiction novel. I have always been amazed by the fact that Mary wrote this novel when she was eighteen years old. The influence of Milton's Paradise Lost can be seen directly from the epigraph of the 1818 edition of Frankenstein: "Did I request thee, Maker from my clay to mould me man? Did I solicit thee, from darkness to promote me?" The spirit of Paradise Lost permeates Frankenstein throughout the novel and particularly in his testimony. In chapter seven the monster says: "The fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone." She even incorporated Paradise Lost into the novel by having it be one of the three works that the monster studied. The monster found a correlation between his condition and an aspect of the novel and stated: "Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other human being...I was wretched, helpless and alone. Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition." The monster tells Victor of the confusion he experienced upon first
A Future Perfect by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, accentuates the fast approaching phenomenon of globalization.
The book, A Future Perfect by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, accentuates the fast approaching phenomenon of globalization, which is the ideal term for describing the process of human modernization through interaction and development. It provides various examples of how globalization has contributed positively to our world. The examples provided in the book are well explained and backed-up by solid evidence, although the opinions of the authors are rather biased. The three focus points of the book are globalization of business, politics and culture. These authors identify, examine, and analyze the many forces that have been changing the world in which we live through globalization. Globalization is not a new concept to the world's economists, as it has been around for a couple centuries. This way of thinking began with Adam Smith's writings on the "invisible hand" in 1776 but it was not until the early 1900s that this concept became a reality. Some believe that in the past the world was more global than today, but there is now a lot more trade, multinational companies, and capital markets. Despite this, the early twentieth century saw free movements of people, capital, and minimal intervention by governments (Micklethwait and Woodbridge 5). There was a period of protectionism with the beginning of the First World War in 1914 that included the Second World
"Each of you helped to kill her." Says the Inspector. Show exactly what part each member of the Birling family (and Gerald Croft). Played in the death of Eva Smith. Do you think that some characters are more guilty than others?
"Each of you helped to kill her." Says the Inspector. Show exactly what part each member of the Birling family (and Gerald Croft). Played in the death of Eva Smith. Do you think that some characters are more guilty than others? 'An Inspector Calls' is a play written by J.B Priestley. It is set in pre-World War One Britain, but was written in 1945, which enabled Priestley to use dramatic irony as a way of highlighting the ignorance of the Birling family. The play itself is as much a political (and social) statement as a form of entertainment and Priestley's strong left-wing views manifest themselves in the character of Inspector Goole. It is a strong and morally stimulating piece which uses climax and cliff-hangers to sustain the audience's interest. Set in 1912 in the fictional town of Brumley, the play describes the suicide of a working class girl and how each member of the upper-middle class Birling family (and Gerald Croft) had a part to play in her death. I will be describing in detail the connection each member of the family had to Eva Smith and their level of culpability. After analysing and evaluating each character's effect on Eva Smith, I will conclude who, I feel, was most responsible for her death. Before the Inspector arrives, the Birling family and Gerald Croft are enjoying a small celebration for the engagement of Gerald and Sheila. Although the scene is
An exploration of the way in which Shakespeare presents the character of Enobarbus and his role in 'Antony and Cleopatra'. Domitius Enobarbus is a significant character throughout the play
Stewart Dickson 6yo An exploration of the way in which Shakespeare presents the character of Enobarbus and his role in 'Antony and Cleopatra'. Domitius Enobarbus is a significant character throughout the play and his presence serves many functions. Unlike Charmian and Iras, he doesn't merely play a supportive role and he could be considered one of the main characters in the play. Shakespeare has developed the character of Enobarbus quite extensively and in doing so is able to use him to reveal more about the other characters. Enobarbus is 'the moral heart' of 'Antony and Cleopatra', being the truth teller, the cynical observer and the audience's guide. He dies of a broken heart after being torn between the two sides of his character, self preservation and his loyalty to Antony. Shakespeare uses Enobarbus on many occasions to shape the audiences reaction to a character or event they have just seen. Along with his ability to ignore political untruths and see things exactly how they are, Enobarbus becomes a pivotal character in the play and it is these attributes that create the impression of a cynical, forthright soldier. Enobarbus often functions as a commentator on events and on other characters. His judgments are generally detached and objective. Frequently, however, they are ironic or cynical as well. He scoffs at the great ones of the world and makes fun of the poses
How is "An Inspector Calls" a well-made play?
How is "An Inspector Calls" a well-made play? J.B Priestley uses all the techniques required for a well-made play. He focuses on the classical unities of time, action and place to create a play which makes the audience think, not only about the actions of the characters on stage but also about the way society behaves. Priestley uses the play to speak out against social discrimination and prejudice. He does this in a subtle way so that the audience learn the truth about a typical higher-class family without realising it. He makes no effort in the play to show another side to his argument that, before and during the war, upper class people were selfish, bigoted and self-centred. I think the way in which Priestley communicates this message is made all the more impressive because he does so within the constraints of a well-made play. The main purpose of any play is to entertain the audience. To do this it must be interesting, dramatic, different, moving and give realistic events that the audience can relate to. In a well-made play the writer must incorporate all of these elements by using certain techniques and following basic guidelines. These involve the classical unities of time, action and place, which must all be realistic; themes, exposition, blackmail and twists in the plot, which should be used to keep the audience interested; and the characters, who have to have a wide
