...MODERN WORLD ISTORY INIDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT [pic] SUBMITTED BY: BADAR TUFAIL 01-111082-025 B.B.A-VIII (A) SUBMITTED TO: MA’AM RIZWANA MANAN DATE OF SUBMISSION: 02-03-2012 Q1 – Explain why Germany was successful in the Second World War up to the end of 1941, but suffered ultimate defeat in 1945. Ans - The main reason for Germany’s success up till 1941 was: • It had enormous resources along with a huge army on the front lines as well as in reserve. • It had alliance (understanding) with Russia and Japan whom were top world powers at the time. In addition to that Italy was also its ally which provided it with important strategic locations such as air bases and ports for quick access to the Atlantic. • Germany’s initial success in the Second World War was because it took down the weaker members of the allied forces at a time, most of them ill-equipped and psychologically unprepared. Such as Poland, Holland, Belgium etc But it ultimately faced defeat in 1945 due to the following reasons: • Germany was over confident about its potential victory which led to making its biggest mistake: attacking USSR, turning its strongest ally into its enemy. • Japan attacking America at pearl Harbor led U.S.A (which was a neutral at the time) to join the ally block making it only stronger. • Germany (and its allies were fighting) on multiple fronts (Midway island, El Alamein, Stalingrad). Which led to a huge drain on its...

...Name University: Course: Tutor: Date: Can genuine and marginal science be distinguished basing on Giere six principle of analysis? Giere claims that there is no straightforward way to distinguish between genuine science and marginal science. It is possible to distinguish genuine science from marginal science especially when we use Giere’s method of analysis. This is because of the following arguments that are provided by Giere in his book, “Understanding Scientific reasoning”. Genuine science and marginal science has so many differences. For instance, genuine science usually deals with proven principles and this idea usually helps a person to explain phenomena and facts, this can be evidenced in (Giere, 2005, p. 11). It can only deal with principles which have been already been studied and there is no false hood in the ideas. On the other hand, marginal science is a deception. In other words, it is passing off something which does not withstand logical review as the actual thing. Marginal science normally bases its argument on other books or facts. It does not have original facts to base its arguments on. The differences between the two can be either in epistemological, logical form or the company. It is the social institution that determines what genuine science constitutes also what marginal science constitutes. Genuine Science uses only facts in its analyzing of ideas while pseudo-science depends on manufactured facts (Grim, 1990, p 89). Marginal science...

It has changed for worse in terms of the climate, and things have gotten a lot more expensive, I could argue that things have been hard, with Isis and the economy after the recession, but it's good to see that Canada is helping with Syrian refugees and the war in Afghanistan, How much do you know about the history of Canada from the 1910’s to now? If I researched I would know a lot more, but I know there was 2 world wars which were huge and In our class the main question we find ourselves asking is why study history, why do you think history is important? Well history is very important because you learn the learn from the unknown. Istory teaches you about what happened in the past which is very relevant to what is happening in the present and what will happen in the future. So a better way of having a grasp of the future or understanding the present is by looking back to the past.What did our forefathers do to help us that can be used today. So it’s very good to be aware of what happened before that can be used today, or what did not work out well in the past that should be changed....

...Critique and Revolution: The Faces of Karl Marx “The nobility of man shines upon us from their work hardened bodies.” (Manuscripts, 100)[1]. And according to Karl Marx, that is the bottom line. In Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 and Manifesto of the Communist Party[2], two of his most profound works, Marx outlines both his harsh critique of capitalism and his prophetic theory of impending communist revolution. Although these texts are extremely complex—Manuscripts is described often as the hardest sixty pages of modern philosophy—their main points can be summed up concisely. For Marx, a worker’s labor, and therefore product, is an extension of himself, and any practice that separates the two, most obviously capitalism’s private property, essentially tears the man apart. A system such as this is beyond repair, and the only feasible solution is a forceful and complete communist revolution ending in the destruction of private property and the reunion of mankind with his labor. The complex philosophizing behind these two doctrines will be revealed shortly, but now the question arises, are they consistent? More specifically, do the circumstances that exist under capitalism, as described in his critique, put the world in a realistic position to undergo his desired revolution? Taking his opinions of the world under capitalism as fact, the answer is yes: the desperation of alienation will drive the growing majority of men to unite and revolt. That said, a thorough examination...

...University of Macau Faculty of Business Administration GAMM302 Gaming Regulations and legal Environment 2009/2010, second semester Written Assignment Topic: H istory of the 2001 -2002 concession public tender process in Macau Name: Lau Hiu Tung Number: B-A7-0070-2 Date: 30 April 2010 Abstract The purpose of the report this time is to share and have a discussion in the concession public tender process in 2001 – 2002. By reading this sharing, I hope we can have a clear picture about the whole tender process, what has happened, and how was it organized during those 2 years. As this is a very important topic in the gaming sector. Moreover, I will also have a discussion to see the main reason why were those 3 companies won in the competition, and also some specific issue that raised by some of the candidates. Introduction Macau has a very long history in the area of gaming business. In the old days, Macau is being named as “Eastern Monte Carlo”. Now, Macau can be called as “Eastern Las Vegas”, as many foreign companies have started their business in Macau after the liberalization of the gaming industry in 2002. This change let Macau step into a new era and increase its reputation all over the world. Why Macau can have such a big change after the operation in the style of monopoly concession for more than 70 years? How the tender process has been gone through? Why result in these 3 concessions – even though now there are 3 plus 3 sub/concessions, but this is another...

...|CONSTRUCTING NONVIOLENT ALTERNATIVES TO COLLECTIVE VIOLENCE: A SCIENTIFIC STRATEGY | |Mark A Mattaini. Behavior and Social Issues. Chicago:Fall 2003. Vol. 12, Iss. 2, p. 148-163 (16 pp.) | | | Collective violence (including terrorism, gang violence, civil war, separatist ethnic and religious conflicts, and government sponsored wars) is a central concern of the 21st century. This analysis suggests a scientific strategy for reducing such violence by constructing functionally equivalent and highly effective nonviolent collective alternatives. This general approach is the heart of most effective programs of behavior change, but has not yet been used to address terrorism and other forms of collective violence. The paper briefly traces the history of effective nonviolent action, including both strategies to confront and reduce oppression as well as strategies for defending persons, peoples, and social institutions against attack. It then turns to a examination of cultural practices on which successful nonviolent actions have relied, emphasizing a scientific analysis of the behavioral dynamics involved. Both practices directed toward opposition groups and practices that maintain the commitment and action of group members are investigated. The paper concludes with an outline of...

...1 Feminist Theory and Survey Research “The idea that there is only ‘one road’ to the feminist revolution, and only one type of ‘truly feminist’ research, is as limiting and as offensive as male-biased accounts of research that have gone before.” ~Liz Stanley and Sue Wise, 1983, p. 26. Introduction Over the past three decades, feminist methodologists have hammered home one point with surprising regularity: Feminist research takes a variety of legitimate forms; there is no “distinctive feminist method of research” (Harding, 1987; see also Chafetz, 2004a, 2004b; Fonow & Cook, 2005; Hawkesworth, 2006; Hesse-Biber, 2007; Risman, Sprague, & Howard, 1993; and Sprague, 2005). And yet, to this day, the relationship between feminist theory and quantitative social science research remains uneasy. Among feminist scholars, quantitative research is often seen as suspect for its association with positivism and its pretense of objectivity (among other things). At the same time, among quantitative researchers, feminist-identified work is often dismissed as “biased,” “activist,” or “substantively marginal.” While a number of scholars have recently published works outlining a “feminist” approach to social science research, these books have generally steered clear of quantitative survey research. Some authors of feminist 1 2— Feminist Measures in Survey Research methods texts limit their discussion of feminist survey research to a small section (e.g., Hesse-Biber, 2007; Reinharz, 1992;...

...1. Getting started It is a matter of some interest that logic and the law should share so many of their foundational concepts – concepts such as proof, evidence, truth, inference, probability, plausibility, presumption and reasonableness – and yet should have had very little to say to one another within living memory. It is not especially surprising that logic and the law should have suffered (I use the word in its Latin sense) this alienation. With regard to its foundational concepts – for example, the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the concept of the balance of probabilities, the concept of the reasonable person – the law embeds am implied epistemology of implicity. There exists among practitioners, especially judges, the view that definitions and formalizations of such notions are both unnecessary and is liable to conceptual distortion. But definitions and formalizations are mother’s milk to logicians. Where the law favours approximation and contextually sensitive nuance, logicians thrive on exactitude and rigour. So why wouldn’t the lawyers and logicians go about their business without the regard of the one for the other? It would be wrong to leave the impression that there is no analytical exactitude in the law. It would also be a mistake to suggest that there has been no contact with the formal disciplines. Trials are often complex and judgements often embed exhaustive and detailed analyses of relevant points of law. In recent years probability theorists have...
