Use your own knowledge to explain why the different views in Source G were expressed.

Q.4. Use your own knowledge to explain why the different views in Source G were expressed The three different people speaking out against Elvis Presley in Source G all have the same negative view of Elvis and the impact he was having, but have these views for different reasons and also have different reasons for expressing them publicly. Emmanuel Celler, who was an American Republican politician, is disapproving of Elvis Presley and is basically saying that Elvis is in bad taste and his uncivilised, immoral behaviour is only suitable for coloured people - though he is not directly racist, he implies strongly that black people are primitive compared to white people. He is expressing a conservative, adult, white view, because he would have been appealing to mature white people, in an effort to gain more votes from this group and ultimately get elected. The racist view given by Emmanuel Cellers in Source G would have supported by his white public because the 1950s was a time of racial segregation in America (mainly in the southern states, where the slave trade had been based). This meant that the 10% of Americans who were black (African-Americans) were generally prevented from sharing in America's prosperity, were excluded from the democratic process, endured racial discrimination and severe economic inequality, in spite of the abolition of slavery. Segregation was imposed on

The crucial need for improving air connectivity between Singapore and India and the developmental impact it will have on Singapore.

Introduction This essay will look at the crucial need for improving air connectivity between Singapore and India and on the developmental impact it will have on Singapore. The focus of the essay will be on underlining Singapore's vital need for improved air connectivity and the potential benefits Singapore stands to gain, especially in the area of tourism and commerce. Due to Singapore's reliance on her geo-strategic location, tourism and commerce, it must be remembered that the level of air connectivity and the success of the tourism industry for Singapore are intrinsically linked. "Air transport and Tourism have a symbiotic relationship"1 based on interdependence. Furthermore, Singapore is an island and land accessibility exists only between Singapore and Malaysia. Unlike India, Singapore is a country with barely any natural resources. She is highly dependent on people as her main natural resource, and is thus heavily reliant on service related industries such as tourism for her economic survival. In the Indian case, tourism is an industry with huge untapped potential, while for Singapore, keeping pace with the regional and global tourism industry is a matter of survival because tourism constitutes a vital component of more than 10% of her Gross Domestic Product (GDP).2 Singapore's survival has always revolved around ports and with increasing competition from regional

Leadership styles and different communication styles.

Organizational Behaviors Lack of proper communication and feedback from leaders Prepared By Vinod Krishnan, ID # 90434 Western International University MGT 340/Organizational Behavior Instructor: GEORGE STRAGALAS III TABLE OF CONTENTS The Issue 1 Industry Context 1 Organization's Overview 4 Organization's Hierarchy Structure 5 Leadership Hierarchy Chart 6 American Express's current strategy in historical context 7 External Environment Assessment 8 Internal Environment Assessment 9 Strategy Evaluation 10 Recommendations 10 References 12 APPENDIX I 13 APPENDIX II 14 The Issue Different leaders have different leadership styles and different communication styles. The lengthy lateral hierarchy leadership structure of American Express makes it even more complicated for the employees to get proper communication and feedback from their top leaders. Decisions affecting the employees are taken at different hierarchy level and are not properly communicated to the affected employees. The lack of proper communication from the top leaders of the company and the individual departments to the employees of the company has been one of the reason for lesser job satisfaction and that in turn accounts for increased turnover and absenteeism and reduced productivity. An overview of American Express's history, coupled with a review of its organization hierarchy structure

The Corporate Social Responsibility Debate

Critically evaluate the arguments for Corporate Social Responsibility and isolate whether you think it is a sensible business strategy. The debate over business's role in society is based around two opposing arguments. On one side, it is argued that social issues are peripheral to corporate agenda. This perspective maintains that corporations and society pursue different goals, and that the objectives of one can only be achieved at the expense of the other. Companies are profit maximisers, and the sole purpose of business is to generate shareholder value. On the other hand, social responsibility proposes the contrary; companies which participate in activities that positively contribute to society will see the benefits to their reputation and subsequently their bottom line. In other words, there is an implicit social contract between business and society, with responsibilities, opportunities and mutual advantages. This essay will critically evaluate the supporting and opposing arguments surrounding the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) debate. I will define CSR and explore the positive aspects of adopting it in an organisation, as endorsed by CSR advocates such as Dick Hubbard and based on research from various sources and business case studies such as McDonalds and Timberland Co. I will cover the positive arguments for CSR such as its ability to enhance a company's

What does Shakespeare Have to say to us About the true Meaning of Love?

What does Shakespeare Have to say to us About the true Meaning of Love? In this piece of coursework I will be writing about what Shakespeare has to say about true love. Shakespeare does not really preach to us, he simply portrays people how they really are; this would help it along to look more realistic. Shakespeare leaves it to the audience to form their own opinions about the characters. Most writers in the time of this play when it came out aimed to tell people how to live their lives. Shakespeare does not say weather they are right or wrong but just portrays them. He doesn't tell people, he lets the people relate to the play and choose the right way to go, so, he presents people how they really are. Some characters can not get the idea of sex past their minds as it continuously comes up as a joke right from the start. This would be when; Sampson and Gregory are joking about what they would do to the Montague women, as they mix business with pleasure. Also to contribute with this point the nurse of Juliet jokes about what Juliet will get up to in bed. Her jokes are very similar to Mercutios jokes where he talks about "Queen Mab" who comes to Romeo and other men at night and makes them fall in love. The nurse and Mercutio have narrow dimensions about love, just little jokes about sex. Another character in this "love struck" play is Benvolio, as he goes on to say

Introduction During the course of this essay I will discuss how America was advantaged by the collapse of the European economies after World War 1. How the policies of the Republican Government helped to surge the American economy. I will discuss how this economic boom did not benefit everyone in America and how the motor car industry helped stimulate America's growing economy, and how luxury goods became more available in America, and I will continue with how hire purchase and credit was highly available during this time of prosperity. I will outline who did and who did not benefit from this booming economy, also how reversals in U.S. policy occurred during 1919-1922. Then I will continue to explain the McCumber traffic act which issued a tariff on foreign goods entering America to encourage Americas to purchase American goods and thus helping the economy to grow further; leading to an increase in customer spending. I will tell you how Woodrow Wilson introduced the League of Nations, and how the USA isolated itself from the international community so as to avoid conflict. I will look at how America's vast amounts of natural resources were a contributing factor to the growth of the economy. Before the war, Germany had the largest chemical industry in the world but after the war it was significantly damaged and America took the place of the Germans in this industry,

Factors that affect the rate of reaction.

Factors that affect the rate of reaction Background We can measure the rate of reaction by measuring the rate of change by either, - one of the reactants disappearing with time - one of the product forming with time. A chemical reaction can only occur between particles when they collide (hit each other). Particles may be atoms, ions or molecules. There is a minimum amount of energy which colliding particles need in order to react with each other. If the colliding particles have less then this minimum energy, then they just bounce off each other and no reaction occurs. This minimum is called the minimum energy. Collision Theory: - particles must collide - with sufficient energy to break existing bonds - with the correct orientation Measuring rates: We can measure how quickly products form or we can also measure how quickly reactants are used up. Here are some graphs which you can get whilst studying these two different methods, Factors that affect the rate of reaction: .Raising the temperature has the same effect on all three reactions. Raising the temperature makes the particles move faster. This means that more particles collide with each other per second. The rate of the reaction increases. Also, the faster the particles are travelling, the greater is the proportion of them which will have the required minimum energy for reaction to occur. As a
