How did the Protestant politicians explain the social, economic and political differences between Catholic and the Protestant? There were many social, economic and political differences between the Protestants and Catholics which often led to the mistreatment of the Catholic population. From the years 1921 to 1972, Northern Ireland was ruled by the Ulster Unionist Party as a separate state within the United Kingdom. During the period, the Catholics were treated very differently from the Protestants. New council houses generally went to the Protestants which resulted in the Catholics living in poorer homes. Their education system was segregated but Catholic schools received less money so they couldn't afford all the necessary equipment needed to run a good school. Universities encouraged Protestant applications rather than Catholic, which meant they were less likely to get a good job, or promotion, which furthermore meant they were less likely to reach a high social status. They therefore received lower pay which links back to why they were living in poorer homes. They were also more politically disadvantaged as the majority of politicians were Protestant, who were inclined to help their own people. Catholics were seen as 'traitors' and were stopped from having any political power by gerrymandering. Protestants felt they had the right to make all the important decisions
Business - The 4 P's
Product From the feedback I have received my target group are keen on not just having sports clothing, but equipment and accessories for a wide range of sports, as they commented that they couldn't always find accessories for sports such as Rugby, Cricket and Swimming in stores such as JJB. A huge part of being a successful sport store is knowing how to treat customers. This is essential if you want to gain a customer base which will return and spend money with your repeatedly. All Sports Extra the intention is to make sure any staff is put through extensive training to ensure that they are all customer orientated, and that they know about our products and can answer any question which the customer may throw at them. This will help give us a professional look and a good reputation, but it also helps motivate staff as they know are good at their jobs, and will get satisfaction from helping customers, as it's a local store in some instances they may get to know some of the regular customers well. It is also important that the products we stock are of the highest quality, my research has showed me Muswell Hill is a generally well off area, and if people are going to purchase an item they will want it to be of good quality and long lasting, for this reason I have decided to order in bulk items from the highest quality sporting brands, such as Nike, Reebok, Umbro and Adidas.
Assess the Sociological explanations of social class differences
Assess the Sociological explanations of social class differences In crime rates. According to the crime rate in England and Wales, the most committed crime amongst male and females was; theft and handling of stolen goods. These crimes, and similar to most crimes are mostly committed by the working-class; nevertheless this is not to say that other social class do not commit crimes. Explanation for crime and deviance in society has been attempted to be explained by many sociologists, for example labelling theory, subculture theory and also left/right realist. However they focus on working-class crimes, and fail to provide an explanation for middle-class. High crime rates amongst working class people may be down to the targeting of working class people, as explained by internationalist. According to intereactionist acts labelled as deviant tend to be committed by certain types of people. For example, police tend to target specific groups, of whom were mostly likely working-class. This is due to the perception held by the police of the 'typical criminal', they are more likely to see the activities of young men from the lower levels of the class structure and from certain ethnic minority groups as suspicious. The middle-class minority who were arrested were usually cautioned and released. Thus they were more likely to b arrested, and take up numbers in crime statistics. One of
'The International Wine Company' - Advert Analysis
James Poulter 11n/F1 31st July 2002 Media Studies Coursework An advertisement is used to persuade. The advert by 'The International Wine Company' to sell wine uses many persuasive and linguistic techniques. They are used for different purposes but add up together to persuade the reader to buy the product. The letter is targeted at the ordinary person over the age of eighteen because you cannot drink alcohol under that age in this country. The reason I believe that it is aimed at the average person is because it uses french words like 'chablis', 'vin ordinaire', 'premier cru' and 'sommelier'. Using these words is intended to make the reader feel better about themselves and more important even though they may not know what the words mean. In England, wine for £4.99 and champagne for £11.99 is at the lower end of the market ,so isn't likely to be of first class quality. It would therefore be unlikely that more affluent people would be attracted to this advert. The first, and perhaps most obvious technique used to attract the reader is persuasive language. Most people would consider words such as 'superb' and 'beautiful' as standard, everyday words but with a positive feel and purpose. Other words may not be considered regular or conventional but are instantly recognisable for their
Arguments for and against codifying the UK constitution
Arguments for and against codifying the UK constitution Abbas Ameli The UK constitution is currently one of very few uncodified constitutions that exist in today's political world and is praised by its admirers for being evolutionary rather than revolutionary and criticised by its critics for laying too much power in the hands of the few and lagging behind its democratic counterparts. In recent years, arguments have been presented both to challenge and to defend the current status of the UK's constitution. The ever growing power held by the executive has led to increased worries over the incapability of UK's uncodified constitution to maintain a check on the powers exercised by the executive. Far from parliamentary sovereignty and even what critics suggested as party sovereignty (due to great Labour majorities in recent years), it can be argued that sovereignty has been lying in the hands of the executive in recent years mainly as a result of the whip system. In its first nine years of govt, all the bills and reforms suggested by the Labour govt, led by Tony Blair, were turned into laws, leading to a rise in concerns over the incapability of parliament in limiting the powers of the executive and acting as a check on its powers. It can be argued that the main reason is fusion of powers which takes away the check and balance that the branches of power should exert on one
In this report I will explain and analyse the link between an endurance athletes diet and exercise and what affect it can have on their performance within sport.
Introduction to Sports Nutrition Assignment 1 Nutrition is the process by which the human body relies upon for its dietary needs, whether this may be a balanced diet for the average person, or a diet tailored to support an athletes training goals. In this report I will explain and analyse the link between an endurance athlete's diet and exercise and what affect it can have on their performance within sport. A healthy diet that consists of regular, adequate physical activity are major factors in the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout the entire life course. The food plate model The food plate model illustrates the types of food we need for a healthy diet and the proportions we should eat them in every day. As the chart shows, carbohydrates such as bread and pasta, and fruit and vegetables should make up the largest part of our daily food intake. Adapted from an original chart by the Food Standards Agency The pie charts below show the proportion of energy that should be obtained from the three main nutrient groups - carbohydrate, protein and fat. As the charts indicate, sports participants need to increase the amount of carbohydrates in their diet in order to meet their body's increased energy requirements - most of this carbohydrate should be in the form of 'starchy' carbohydrate such as bread, pasta, rice and cereals rather than 'sugary' carbohydrates
The Distinction Between An Offer And An Invitation To Treat Is Often Hard To Draw As It Depends On The Elusive Criterion Of Intention. But There Are Certain Stereotyped Situations That The Distinction Is Determined By Rules Of Law”
The Distinction Between An Offer And An Invitation To Treat Is Often Hard To Draw As It Depends On The Elusive Criterion Of Intention. But There Are Certain Stereotyped Situations That The Distinction Is Determined By Rules Of Law" Introduction An offer is made when a person shows a willingness to enter into a legally binding contract. An invitation to treat (I.T.T) is merely a supply of information to tempt a person into making an offer. However the distinction between the two can often be misleading and ultimately misinterpreted. When misinterpretations and complications occur then it is down to the courts to decide and to distinguish between the two terms, so a person is not led into a binding contract of which he does not want to be a part of, (Harvey V Facey [1893] A.C 552.) but is merely supplying information to which an offer is to be made. Offers and Invitations To Treat "An offer is an intimation, by words or conduct, of a willingness to enter into a legally binding contract, and which in it's terms expressly or impliedly indicates that it is to become binding on the offerer as soon as it has been accepted by an act, forbearance or return of promise on part of the person to whom it is addressed." (J.Beatson 1998) Which means, once a person has accepted an offer it becomes legally binding and a contract has formed. It is hard for a person to terminate this contract

Business Studies Coursework Theory: Stakeholders A stakeholder is any individual or group that is affected in some way by a company's activities. Stakeholders range from small shareholders with a few shares in a company, to communities in which a company has business premises that may employ a few, or thousands of people. Getting stakeholders involves establishing good lines of communication between a company and its various stakeholders and then maintaining a constructive relationship with them. Through this relationship, stakeholders can have their say and the company can listen and respond. To establish relationships with your stakeholders by consulting regularly with your employees, responding positively to their needs and aspirations and generally treating them well. This will bring several important benefits to the company: * employees will work hard and are seldom absent * high morale and good health raised productivity and improved efficiency * the company will gain a reputation as a good employer, which will make it easier to recruit and retain employees * the company will become known for the quality of its goods, customers will want to supply them and consumers will want to buy from them * the company's products will become popular with customers who will choose to buy their products over and above competitors * It will become easier for the company to
Coronary Heart Disease
BIOLOGY COURSEWORK Coronary heart disease remains the most common cause of death in the United Kingdom. A statistic from the American Heart Association is that heart disease claims a life every 24 seconds. [www.americanheart.org] Another is that it is the largest single cause of premature death in the United Kingdom, responsible for 180 000 deaths annually. [www.americanheart.org] Some cases are related to family history, but in my opinion the majority of cases are self-inflicted i.e. they are related to diet and lifestyle and I intend to investigate the factors that contribute towards the development of Coronary Heart Disease. Coronary Heart Disease is caused by the narrowing of the arteries due to the build up of fatty deposits in the lining of the arteries [atherosclerosis]. The presence of a blood clot in these arteries can lead to a blockage, which cuts off the supply of blood to the heart, and to a subse4quent heart attack [coronary thrombosis]. Stroke is the sudden loss of brain function mostly due to a blood clot in the artery supplying the brain. [P.M. Gaman and K.B. Sherrington, the science of food, 4th Edition] Many factors are known to increase the risk of Coronary Heart Disease. Some are major risk factors that can't be changed, e.g. a genetic predisposition to the disease. Smoking is a major contributor and increases the likelihood of fatty deposits
customer services
Customer Service Legislation The goods supplied to customers and the customer service provided is influenced by certain factors in UK. The way that the products are sold: Effects on customer service of regulating the nature and standards of products: * Sale of Goods Act, 1979 - the product must be sold according to the description and satisfactory quality also fit for purpose. For example at Thorpe Park they cannot advertise the tickets for a certain price and sell it at different price at the gates. * Supply of Goods and Services Act, 1982 - services must be at merchantable value and at practical rates. For example if customers book for two tickets and they only have 1 ticket given. * Food Safety Act, 1990 - the food must be quality and up to standards. For example at Thorpe park restaurants they cannot sell food which is decayed or has passed its sell by date. Not all of these are linked with Thorpe Park but the Food Safety Act is an important because there are restaurants in the park which supply food to customers at Thorpe Park. Price The price displays are also very important and there is a law for this too. The Prices act 1974 and 1975 is controlling the price displays. They require prices to be indicated on goods or services offered by businesses. It is illegal for Thorpe Park to mislead the customers by displaying wrong pries for entering the park and
