An image of this work is represented below (Pazos 1992).
This particular page of the mural depicts Che holding a rifle in a rural setting composed of soft shades of blue and green. The contrasts of these elements in the artwork also represent the controversy embodied in Che's life and work. Che's life was composed of a dedication to love and had grand ideals of elevating man in society. Though in attempts to achieve his goals, Che resorted to the use of violence and was also known by his violent deeds.
The mural portrays those elements by providing an artistic representation of the contrast. On one hand, there are peaceful and tranquil colors shown in a serene environment in nature that represent the aspirations of Che and the Cuban Revolution. On the other hand, the rifle is shown almost centered in the mural. Furthermore, it is the darkest element the mural…...

Social & Political Environment of Business
Protectionist policies include policies such as tariffs (taxes) upon imported goods and quotas, the latter of which limits the number of imported goods which can be brought into the country. The intention of protectionist policies is to protect local industries and jobs from competition.
From the perspective of a poorer nation, protectionism can have certain advantages. A developing nation frequently does not have the resources to compete with a more developed nation in terms of the quality of the goods it manufactures. Developed nations can frequently operate on economies of scale and price their goods much more cheaply and have better technology to produce those goods. Through protectionism, a local industry in a poorer nation has a chance to grow and develop while it is 'protected' and can employ native workers in the process.
Q3. However, there are considerable detriments to embracing protectionism: from a free trade…...

Re: Support for gay marriage
Recently, some members of the Dreamorks family have raised objections regarding the proposed support for President Obama's reelection campaign in light of Obama's declared support for gay marriage. hile no endorsement, particularly by a family-friendly organization such as Dreamorks should be undertaken lightly, from a PR standpoint the support of the Obama campaign will not harm the reception of the company's output and in fact might even be an asset,

Exxon Mobil has the United States as its home country, although the company operates globally. The U.S. remains an important source of fuel, and perhaps the company's biggest retail market. The legal and political environment is very favorable in the United States for Exxon Mobil. In general, oil companies receive a tremendous array of subsidies, often granted by politicians who have received large contributions from fossil fuel companies (Carrington & Davies, 2015). Exxon Mobil is tremendously profitable, but receives tax benefits and other help from government when it invests money in an area, perhaps for creating jobs. It is difficult to describe the political environment as anything other than favorable when you are among the wealthiest companies in the world and you still receive billions in tax breaks, in exchange for donating to political campaigns.
The legal environment is perhaps a little bit less favorable. While the same politicians write laws…...

To the general citizen, this story is relevant because it helps to explain the prices of shoes in Europe. If there is a shortage of cheap Asian footwear on the market, this story explains the cause. It also illustrates to the general consumer that they may face higher costs for many products if those products are subject to protectionist measures. It is not simply market forces which determine supply and demand.
The piece is well-written and well-documented. Multiple sources are used to provide a balanced perspective. The story illustrates the issue at hand and offers a reasonable explanation to the reader. The information is conveyed well, allowing the reader to form his or her own opinion about the issue by providing background knowledge and perspective from a number of industry personnel.

Marx further included that finally the biased behavior of the working class will end this dictatorship period, and a class less society will establish. He believed that for the formation of this society people need to launch an organized movement against the dictatorship and only a successful revolution would lead to the formation of society of "Communism" (Skoble, 2007).
When we talk about the political philosophy, we can observe that both John Locke and Karl Marx are in favor of the idea that when there is a need of change then an organized revolution is compulsory. People cannot get their rights until they demand for it because it's natural thing that you need to raise your voice in order to get your right otherwise other will keep it as their own possession.
The point of differ come when we talk about the scenario in which both of them forwarded their theories. Karl…...

In his book, Government and Politics: A Documentary History of Kong, Steve Tsang (1995), discussed the pre-transitional government and history of that government in Hong Kong. For all intents and purposes, the government in China's influence over Hong Kong was virtually non-existent since the UK's presence on the island (271). In fact, the political environment in Hong Kong was one that made it safe for the island to receive political refuges (Ash et al. 199). There was concern that those individuals would be very much at risk in a post hand over environment.

Germany: Country analysis
Political environment
Germany is a parliamentary democracy. It is a multi-party system, which means that political parties must often share power to govern. It is currently led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, who became Germany's first female chancellor in 2009. Merkel is the leader of the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU). Merkel won a close election and serves as "chancellor in a 'grand coalition' involving the CDU, its Christian Social Union (CSU) allies and the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD)" ("Germany," BBC, 2012). Merkel has faced recent resistance from the Germany populace, who are growing increasingly discontented with the feeling that Germany is being forced to 'bail out' financially undisciplined members of the European Community, to preserve the EC in the wake of the meltdown of the Greek economy…...

Thus, weak institutions, frequent military takeovers, and corruption in government ranks, both civilian and military has resulted in present state of affairs of Pakistan. Syria: Syria's history has been one that was dominated by family rule, foreign interventions, and inability to successfully run the affairs of the country by the ruling elite. The Assad family has held the power in Syrian since last four decades and this has caused significant deterioration in institutional and other forms of governance (Zisser 2003, 15-19).With independence from the French forces in 1946, Syria remained internally polarized and externally vulnerable to the tensions of Middle East. Her confrontation with Israel and support for Hezbollah has considerable historical background. Thus, the issues today being faced by Syria are a continuation of its acts of historical omissions and commission by ruling elites.

Political Backgrounder: Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia, Canada -- Political Background in the context of environmentalism
Darrell Dexter is Nova Scotia's incumbent premier and the 27th Premier of the province since the Confederation. Dexter was elected leader of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party in 2001 and was sworn in as Prime Minster on June 18, 2009. Both he and the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party have strict views with regard to environmentalism, as the province is actively involved in becoming a global leader in green energy before 2020. As Dexter puts it, "This is about making the right decisions for our economy and our environment. e are putting our energy future where it belongs, back in Nova Scotians' hands." (New Plan To Create Jobs, Stable Electricity Prices, Cleaner Environment)

Certainly, one could tell from your presentation that your political past and present has not yet left you, but the valid ideas remain. My discourse is structured less on what we should do, but rather on how water is both a commodity and a public good.
Moderator: Excellent, but please make sure you don't get into a fight with Paul's rigorous political approach!
Karen akker: Right, will do. We can all understand why water is a public good: because the public drinks it, washes with it and uses it for water balloons. On the other hand, there are companies who see that water can also be a commodity and, as such, they stock the water in water balloons and them sell them, either to the state, in public-private partnerships, or directly to the population. France is a good example in this sense, but then, it was also them who had the…...

Political Ads
The Four Phases of Political Advertising
The four phases of political advertising as described by Edwin Diamond and Stephen Bates can be described thus: first) the candidate introduces himself; second) the candidate's ads state an argument; third) the candidate attacks and belittles his opponent; fourth) the candidate promotes himself as a "visionary…a leader…one who has a vision of moving the country forward" (Module 7). The purposes of the four phase system of political advertising is to 1) showcase the candidate's abilities, 2) question the opponent's, and 3) respond to the opponent's questioning of him. This paper will look at four political ads and show how each represents a phase political advertising and fulfills at least one of the three purposes of a campaign ad.
Barack Obama's Superbowl Ad is an example of the first phase of political advertising. In this ad, Obama introduces himself through a series of maxims: "e can…...

For John Locke, government "…should be limited to securing the life and property of it citizens"; and government should allow freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. He was opposed to "hereditary monarchy" and supported human rights (especially in his more mature years).
As to how these political theories connect with environmental policy in the U.S.: first, the environmental policies in the U.S. are under attack by the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Their recent bill, H.R. 1, passed in February 2011, contained 19 anti-environmental riders that would "negatively affect air, water, and environmental quality," the Sustainable Energy & Environmental Coalition explained. The right wing in Congress wants to take power away from the Environmental Protection Agency as well. Hume would likely approve of the Tea Party and GOP as to their disavowal of global climate change; he would agree that the U.S. federal government is too big and powerful.…...

The Profound Impact of Citizens' Trust in Government on Effective Governance
Trust, the cornerstone of any functional relationship, plays an indispensable role in ensuring the effective governance of a society. When citizens trust their government, they are more willing to comply with its laws, support its policies, and engage in civic activities. Conversely, a lack of trust can lead to widespread skepticism, defiance, and even social unrest, hindering the government's ability to govern effectively.
The positive effects of trust on governance are multifaceted. First, trust fosters compliance. Citizens who trust their government believe that it is acting in their best interests, making....
Several key factors will shape the outcome of the 2024 US presidential election, including but not limited to:
1. Economic conditions: The state of the economy, including factors such as employment rates, GDP growth, and inflation, can have a significant impact on voter perceptions and preferences. Analyzing economic data and trends can help predict how these factors will influence the election outcome.
2. Political climate: The political environment, including public opinion on key issues, approval ratings of the incumbent president (if running for re-election), and the overall mood of the country, will also play a crucial role in shaping the election outcome.....
## Impact of Third-Party Candidates on US Elections
Third-party candidates, those not affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican parties, have historically played a marginal role in US elections. However, their impact, while often elusive, can be significant in shaping the outcome of races and influencing political discourse.
### Spoiler Effect
The most direct impact of third-party candidates is the "spoiler effect." By drawing votes from major party candidates, they can tip the balance in favor of one party over the other. This phenomenon was evident in the 2000 presidential election, where Ralph Nader, the Green Party candidate, received 97,421 votes in Florida,....
