History Coursework-Question 2 In what ways were the lives of Africans changed by the policy of Apartheid during the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's? The term Apartheid means "Separation". The policy of Apartheid affected blacks in many ways- socially, economically and politically. After 1948 the government was run by the Afrikaners. Their aims were to make the white race superior, separate the white and maintain the purity of the white race in South Africa by passing harsh laws. The government thought they were superior and because they had such a low population compared to the blacks, the Afrikaners were afraid to lose it. In order to achieve this they had to control the blacks. In 1949 the "Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act" was established, this separated the blacks and whites from marriage, to ensure no mixed race babies were born, as this would corrupt their aims of Apartheid and cause more problems. Then in 1950 the government realised that this was not thorough enough and so the "Immorality Act" was passed, which stopped any sexual intercourse with whites and other different races. To further this, other laws were introduced as previous laws attempted were not achieved successfully, as it was impossible to check up on everyone. In 1951 the "Population Registration Act" was enforced to separate each racial group, by colour of their skin; white, native or coloured using a

There is no doubt that the period from 1985 to 2000 saw a considerable increase in earnings inequality.
There is no doubt that the period from 1985 to 2000 saw a considerable increase in earnings inequality. In 1984, the richest 10% of British families earned eight times more than the poorest. By 2000 the poorest families had less than one tenth of the income of the richest (HMSO, cited in McGurk, 1998). This essay will look at the four principle causes of this phenomenon. Many (see e.g. Barry, 1996, and Huston, 1998) have identified privatisation and deregulation as the main cause of earnings inequality. These policies were introduced by the Conservative governments from 1979 onwards, and have since been continued by the present Labour administration. Privatisation (the movement of companies from the state to the private sector) and deregulation (the relaxation of rules regarding company activities) have had the effect of reducing job security, and, at the same time, of increasing both the number of short-term jobs and of overall employment. These three factors, taken together, add up to greater competition for work, and hence downward pressure on wages. While not downplaying the role of privatisation and deregulation, Lumsden et al (1997) stress other factors. In particular they highlight the impact of recent legislation concerning trades unions. Laws now exist which ensure that secret balloting of all union members is necessary before any strike action can take place, and
Argumentative essay - Corporal punishment should not be re-introduced into schools
Argumentative essay (Corporal punishment should not be re-introduced into schools) Corporal punishment should not be re-introduced into schools because some children can end up deformed and may become unstable mentally and physically and also they could end up suing the school/government or religious organisation. Corporal punishment could also be harming to the teacher or principal because the student could turn around and hit them back. How would you define corporal punishment because there are a lot of different types eg.whiping, electric shocks, slapping and the cane ect. If teachers hit you on the rear end with the cane then there is a good chance of them hitting your tail bone which could cause paralysation. If the cane is allowed back into schools then it may be encouraged into work places and more and more people would not want to work and then the price of things would go up and the currency value would go down and a chain of events could be triggered. How would you like to be hit (caned) for something as miner as having the corner of your shirt un tucked or how would you like to be hit with the cane for something that someone else had done and had blamed on you. Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires States to protect children from "all forms of physical or mental violence" while in the care of parents or others. The Committee on the
Capitol Punishment
Capitol Punishment 1 Capitol Punishment Robert J. Bernal Wayland Baptist University English 3345 Professor H. King August 30, 2004 Capitol Punishment 2 In today's society, it is very seldom that one does not pick up a newspaper, turn on a television or radio and not take notice of the misfortunes that we face everyday such as murder, serial killers and arrests. This raises the question, "What should be done about crime and what can we do as a society to deter the crime rate"? "Capitol Punishment or "Death Penalty" is a very sensitive subject. Many activist offer reasons both for the against Capitol Punishment, to see if in fact this serves as a legitimate punishment or an extreme display of the American judicial system. Capitol punishment is a justifiable and valuable way of dealing with heinous crimes such as murders due to the fact, that is serves justice, safeguards society, and deters crime. In order to successfully implement capitol punishment, it must be enforced much swifter than it currently is. For example, the United States Judicial system ought to toughen up on individuals who commit murders in order to reduce the crime rate. The United States' Bill of Rights declares, "all citizens are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". If one individual should take these rights from another, theirs should be revoked as well. When one person

Scott 2 Assignment #1 The Ontario Ministry of Labour Website identifies three major areas or labour legislation. These three areas include Employment Rights and Responsibilities, Occupational Health and Safety, and finally Labour Relations. Within each area of legislation outlined, two specific pieces of legislation will be discussed. First, Employment Rights and Responsibilities will be looked at. Under this area, there are two specific pieces of legislation outlined, the Employment Standards Act 2000 and the Pay Equity Act. The Employment Standards Act deals with wage standards and employment conditions in Ontario. Some concerns outlined in this area are how many hours daily and weekly an employee can be made to work without a written agreement or approval from the Director of Employment Standards at the Ministry of Labour. Wage issues are also covered, how employees are paid overtime, minimum wage issues, holiday pay, and vacation pay. Covering hours worked and wages ensures employees and employers understand how the employees are getting paid with regards to their working hours. Leave From Work and Notice of Termination of Employment are also outlined. These simply explain the rights of an employee with regards to leaves and proper requirements in the termination of Employment. A second legislation under Employment Rights and Responsibilities is the Pay Equity
The radical revolutionary movement began ever since the day of America's discovery.
The radical revolutionary movement began ever since the day of America's discovery. The people who left England wanted a change; they were the non-conformist, risk-takers, radicals. Ever since the beginning of settlement, Britain and America had been clashing because America wanted to grow and become powerful economically, socially, and politically but they felt Britain was depriving them from that. Although the colonists during this revolutionary movement were still loyal to England and were only seeking to obtain the "Rights of Englishmen," the colonist decided not to conform to British ideals and so they reacted in their own radical way. Their radical action during the revolutionary movement can be seen through their outcry of no taxation without representation, their protests after each time Britain enforced an act, and through the drastic measures shown through prominent leaders. Since Britain had to pay for many debts after the French and Indian War, they decided that they had no other choice but to tax the colonists. The taxes imposed angered the colonists because they felt that they were not represented in Parliament and therefore should not be taxed. However Parliament felt that they looked out for the best interest of the entire empire therefore had the right to tax the colonist. This caused political unrest and uprising within the colonies. Many radical ideas
A Brief History of the Bicycle Helmets Law in Australia.
A Brief History of the Bicycle Helmets Law in Australia Following the precedent of helmets for motorcyclists, opinion unsupported by scientific evidence developed that cyclists, especially children, need more protection and that helmets could provide it. In 1978, the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Road Safety recommended that \"cyclists be advised of the safety benefits of protective helmets and the possibility of requiring cyclists to wear helmets be kept under review\". But the evidence submitted to the Committee as published in Hansard includes nothing on the efficacy of helmets as protection. Indeed, in the reports of later parliamentary committees that led to the present policy the earliest study cited, by McDermott and Klug, is dated 1982. The Government responded with a campaign to promote helmet wearing. In Victoria, the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) did likewise, even putting a case for compulsory wearing to the Premier in 1982. The 1978 inquiry was unfinished, but the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Transport Safety continued it and issued a final report on motorcycle and bicycle helmet safety in 1985. It recommended in 1985 that co-operation of states and territories should be sought to \"review the benefits of bicycle helmet wearing ... and unless there are persuasive arguments to the contrary introduce compulsory
Write an essay on the significance of the title of Samskara as it relates specifically to Praneshacharya but also in the more general sense of the term.
Write an essay on the significance of the title of Samskara as it relates specifically to Praneshacharya but also in the more general sense of the term. * Trying to find the meaning of Samskara in its nebulous form. * Establish definitions and concentrate on mainly one definition of Samskara that pervades the novel * On a second reading of Samskara, it becomes evident that the novel opens up with a double entendre feeling towards Praneshacharya. We understand that the "Crest-Jewel of Vedic Learning" has married an invalid and set himself up as the "householder" who considers this act will allow him to "get ripe and ready" (2). 'Ripe and ready' for what begs the question: the transition to the next stage of renouncement or, implicitly applying connotations to a transcendence (Samskara) to a new rite of passage for the living, albeit Chandri. The dovetailing affect Murthy employs of Chandri's cries of "Acharya, acharya" (2) and the description of Praneshacharya feeding "Gowri" accentuates and prophesizes this point. We see a reversal of roles played out here via the medium of Praneshacharya feeding Gowri and caressing "the cow's body till the hair, on her hide rose in pleasure" (2) and Chandri's role in the forest peeling "plantains" (64) and feeding Praneshacharya, as "he caressed her loosened hair" (63). The author has set the platform at the start of the novel for
