The revolution ended when Napoleon Bonaparte took power in November 1799 and began his dictatorship. Before the revolution France was ruled by the nobles and the church. The Old Regime consisted of three estates; First Estate, Second Estate, and Third Estate. The First Estate consisted of the Clergy. The Clergy lived wealthy lives and owned 10% of all the land in France. The Second Estate consisted of the Nobility of France. Richelieu and Louis XIV had crushed the nobles military power but given them other rights under strict royal control. The Third Estate consisted of 90% of the people in France. They were the peasants and the bourgeoisie. The Third Estate did not like their place in social society and wished for change which was a long term cause for the Revolution. Causes of the French revolution- It was caused by factors such as the bad governing system of France at the time, weak superiority within the government system and inequality of the classes of people in France at the time. The first estate consisted of the church officials, priests. •They collected church tax. •They supervised education (decide about the education) •Registered births, deaths, marriages •They collected tax (feudal dues), from the peasants.

...“A STUDY ON PROBLEM FACED BY GOLD INDUSTRY AND PROVIDING FEASABLE SOLUTONS TO OVERCOME IT” Dishant Gosain1 Mehak Ahuja2 Sonu Kumar3 1, 2, 3 Student, Delhi School Of Management, Delhi Technological University (formerly DCE), New Delhi, India dishant3281@gmail.com, mehak.ahuja3@gmail.com, sonurca11@gmail.com ABSTRACT In India, gems and jewellery has always symbolized wealth and prestige. It has always ignited desire unlike any other object of importance. This industry has always been an important driver of Indian economy with its great influence in large-scale employment generation, earnings from foreign exchange through exports, and value addition. The Indian gold industry, which has a vast potential of being a kingpin of the financial system of India, is currently facing potential stagnation, with difficulties at multiple fronts. It is hence essential for its various stakeholders, like the government, Reserve Bank of India, and the gold industry, to initiate large-scale transformation so as to ensure a sustainable and well modulated industry. In this article we try to develop a clear policy framework to address key structural and regulatory challenges. The various institutional mechanisms required to bring the entire gold industry under standard and uniform governance to pilot long term direction setting on gold are formulated and numerous suggestions on reducing the supply constraints in gold without perturbing CAD have been proposed. The aim of the article is...

...Gold Rush Field Trip Right now I want you to pretend you are in the Gold Rush Times. Think about the kind of houses they used to have, clothes they wore, activities they did, and what they ate. As you walk into the town you look around with excitement in your eyes. Now the people there welcome you in. You will probably notice that you are not dressed like them, so they give you some clothes. This was me in 3rd grade. I went on a school field trip in Denver, Colorado. To a little town based on the Gold Rush Times. We drove up on our school bus to the little town. They split us up into groups and let us go try out the fun Gold Rush activities.

...haze of patriotism. Columbus set out with three ships; the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria in search of Asia to find precious items such as gold and spices. Not realising that the Americas existed, Columbus first appeared in the Bahama Islands. When he first came in contact with the Arawak men and women, he entered into is log, “they would make fine servants… we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever they want” (pg 1). Columbus and his men coming from Spain had weapons that the Natives simply could not fight against, leaving them helpless and unable to fight they were mistreated and abused. Another example of Columbus abusing the natives is when he entered into his log, “as soon as I arrived… I took some of the natives by force” (pg 1). Columbus took some of the natives so that they might show him the land and where he might find gold, but instead of trying to communicate with these people he forcibly took them as slaves. “In return for bringing back gold and spices they (the king and queen of Spain) promised Columbus 10% of the profits” (pg 2). For this, he ordered all persons 14 years or older to collect a certain amount of gold every 3 months. When the Arawaks brought in all of their gold they were given a copper token, the penalty for not having any tokens which meant you did not collect any gold, was to have...

...I would go on an adventure for gold knowing that the adventure is dangerous because if I succeed then I will be very wealthy, just like Thorin’s grandfather. Thorin’s grandfather came home from the adventure with tons of gold and he also had a lot of fame and he also became the king under the mountains. I also would like to experience the same thing as Thorin's grandfather. Would you still invite people into your house even though you have no idea who they are? I would invite people into my house even if I don't know who they are because you will never know what they really want, and it might be important. In the story, Bilbo invited dwarfs he didn't know, and by doing so he was able to go on an adventure to find gold. If Bilbo didn't invite them then he wouldn't have known that he could find gold and become rich. If I invite people into my house I might have the opportunity to discover something that I didn't know just like Bilbo....

...Barrack Gold Corporation Introduction The following essay focuses on the mining conglomerate Barrick Gold Corporation. Barrick owns gold and copper mines across Australia, Africa, and the Americas and these geographical locations provide the focus of the essay’s Macroenviromental analysis. The gold is sold to various gold bullion dealers at market prices whereas copper is sold to copper product manufacturers and copper traders in Europe, North America, South America and Asia (BarrickResponsibilty, 2013). Barrick’s Macroenviroment According to Kotler et al. (2011) a company and all of the other actors operate in a larger macroenviroment of forces that shape opportunities and pose threats to a company such as Barrick. Jobber and Ellis-Chadwick (2013) further imply that it is these actors and forces that affect the mining company’s capability to operate effectively in providing products and services to its customers. Its external environment is characterized by elements that do not have an immediate impact on its performance albeit their impact being felt over the long term. There are those that can influence the company marketing activities without management being able to control them hence the need to continuously monitor them or risk going out of business (Wilson, 2006). The framework that best discusses these elements is the PESTLE Analysis as it provides the strategic planning and environmental analysis that can be useful for Barrick to improve performance and ensure its...
