...two degrees so I am very grateful to have the chance to study both. My enthusiasm for politics and economy reach a new level in 2014. At this time Sierra Leone my birthplace and its neighbour Guinea and Liberia were suffering from the outbreak of Ebola. These three countries have economy which in my opinion is badly run by its government and corruption is also a big issue.. I was sad by the facts that I could not do anything to help. This led me to make the decision that I had to gain more knowledge in politics and economics. I believe politics and economics are two subjects that closely linked and understanding both is the only way to understand how our society functions. This is because it gives you better understanding of the key roles government play in the economy and what effect their policy will have on the economy. Since deciding to study Politics and Economics, in October 2014 I applied to study AS level Economics through the Open University. One of my favourite topics is macroeconomics objectives of government. It tells you the different objectives set by the government to increase the health of the nation. I have decided to take the exam this year. I attended Globe Academy secondary school. I study Maths, English, Science, RE, Business Studies, Btec Sport and History.

Kettl defines accountability in a basic sense of some people and their actions and who they are to answer to for their actions (pg.8). Moreover, this relates to the government that they are to be accountable for actions by the citizens they serve. Accountability is important for the government at all levels because it helps us the citizen know that the government is putting our best intests and is governing the proper way. A proper system of accountability should be in place to show that the government at any level is doing the job it was entrusted to perform such as our national security or that our children are being properly taught in school....

...24 July 2010 Essay Exam Commerce in the post-Renaissance World Commerce, throughout the post-renaissance era has become increasingly more important. In the seventeenth century, the idea of Technological Project (control of nature for human benefit) was introduced by Bacon and Descartes. This was very important because at the time, many people thought in terms of conformity to nature, not in terms of transforming nature for human benefit. Thinking in terms of conformity constrains individual freedom as far as innovation, which is the opposite of what TP is trying to accomplish. Inner-directed individuals are required for TP in order to produce innovative ideas that are both scientific and technical, in order to understand and control natural processes. Such individuals are considered to be autonomous thinkers. Free market economy is essential to the idea of TP. Free market society is a system in which goods and services are exchanged, and privately owned. The reason this is essential is because free market society creates and involves competition. Having a free market society, that is competitive, leads to innovation. Competition is in my mind, the basis for innovation. People would not be driven to innovate or think in such creative ways if they were not being challenged, or competing against others is such an economy. Innovation (which is derived from free market economy and its competition) is very important in terms of TP. In the Wealth of Nations, Adam...

...operates through impersonal, uniform rules and procedures. Also, stating that bureaucracy actually at one time in history meant fast, effective, and rational administration. Organizations in the public and private sector, including universities and governments, rely on bureaucracies to function. The term bureaucracy literally means “rule by desks or offices,” a definition that highlights the often impersonal character of bureaucracies. Even though bureaucracies sometimes seem inefficient or wasteful, setting up a bureaucracy helps ensure that thousands of people work together in compatible ways by defining everyone’s roles within a hierarchy. Government bureaucrats perform a wide variety of tasks. We often think of bureaucrats as paper-pushing desk clerks, but bureaucrats fight fires, teach, and monitor how federal candidates raise money, among other activities. The job of a bureaucrat is to implement government policy, to take the laws and decisions made by elected officials and put them into practice. Some bureaucrats implement policy by writing rules and regulations, whereas others administer policies directly to people (such as distributing small business loans or treating patients at a veterans’ hospital). The task of running the government, and providing services through policy implementation, is called public administration. Referring to the textbook thus, a bureaucracy made sure every job was carefully...

...Assignment - Corporations Law Question 1 worth 25 marks James is a graphic designer and shareholder in Snowzone Pty Ltd (“Snowzone”) a profitable graphic design company. He holds 200 of the 1,000 issued shares. The other 800 shares are divided equally between the other 16 graphic designers in Snowzone.

...its government’s budget towards the education system, and Singapore, which currently invests about the 20% of its government’s budget. It is important to state these facts, due to its big role in the development of education in a country. And this explains why Singapore occupies the 2nd spot in worldwide education, while Peru occupied the 65th spot out of 65 participant countries in the standings of the PISA 2012 exams. In my opinion, Peru’s government invests that small amount of money in education, in order to maintain the population ignorant, so they can commit their felonies, for this reason, the government does not do anything when it comes to banning trash TV programs, that are aired on the primetime lineups of every channel in Peru, and clearly are damaging intellectually the future generation. In fact, they let the programs be promoted; therefore they use it as a smoke screen by diverting the attention of the population. The population instead of focusing in national issues, they focus on trash TV issues. But in Singapore, the reality is different. The government is less corrupt, and plays a big role in educating their people. TV channels opt to promote cultural programs. Of course they air trash TV, however they don’t do it in the primetime, when all the infants are watching. By doing this, infants are...
