...A) FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROWTH OF MODERN NATIONALISM IN INDIA There are several factors responsible for the emergence of nationalism in India. 1) Economic Critique of Colonialism: An understanding that British rule in India is leading to the underdevelopment and impoverishment of the country was first articulated by Dadabhai Naoroji. He developed ‘Drain Theory’ in 1867 in which he argued that Britain is draining the wealth of India. He published Poverty and Un-British Rule in India which is a systematic critique of British colonial rule. R.C. Dutt in his Economic History of India under Early British Rule and Economic History of India in the Victorian Age made similar arguments about the exploitative character of British rule in India. M.G. Ranade published Essays on Indian Economics in 1898. Economic critique of colonialism laid foundation for nationalist movement in India. 2) Political, Administrative and Economic Unification of the Country: British rule introduced modern bureaucracy, professional civil service, unified judiciary and a uniform civil and criminal laws in India which resulted in the political unification of the country. British colonial state also introduced modern means of transport and communication such as railways, roads, electricity and telegraph which resulted in the unification of the country. Political, administrative and economic unification of the country gave a sense of unified ‘nation’ for the people of India. 3) Western Thought and Education:...

...who’s known for his extreme anti-immigration comments. The pope isn’t looking for immigration reform in the sense that he wants a new want to give the 11 million illegal aliens living in the states a better way to citizenship; more that he’s calling for unlimited immigration for the asylum seekers from the Middle East. Once they come to the United States they will have to go through the same citizenship process as everyone else. Congress is run by Republicans who are primarily in favor of toughening up immigration laws and have increased deportations of illegal immigrants. However, President Obama has taken serious action to ensure that children born in the United States to illegal immigrants receive citizenship and are educated. He’s also made it so that people who came to America illegally as children can apply for citizenship and for working permits, the same applies to illegal parents of citizens living in America. Lynn Tramonte, a representative from America’s Voice, said that the efforts to aid the asylum seekers were invigorated by the pope’s speech. Roy Beck, a representative from NumbersUSA, an organization that looks to decrease the annual amount of immigrants accepted into America, said that the pope’s message could be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it seemed like the pope was trying to suggest that we should take in all refugees. Both sides agree that the pope’s speech, although...

...Presidents Father’s Day Address Outside Speech Critique Jamie Brown 16 June 2013 The speech I choose was given on 15th of June 2013. It was given by President Barack Obama at the White House. Each week on Saturday mornings, the President addresses everyone via live feed or through radio. You can also go to The White House web page and click on Weekly address and you can watch each speech he has given since this term has started. This Week the President addressed this Father’s Day. In the introduction the President said “Today we’re blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. But no matter how advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and, most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life. And in many ways, that’s uniquely true for fathers”. I was like wow, I was hooked right from the get go. I myself didn’t have a farther growing up. My father died when I was 7 years old and my mother never remarried. She raised three boys and one girl by herself without any help. My little brother has no knowledge or can remember any interaction with our father because he was only 1 years old when he died. As I have grown and realized that I wish we could have had a father figure in our lives, because some of the things a mother can’t teach a man. Plus, we need that male bonding time. I think President Obama’s speech tailored towards everyone, young, old, high...

...View on Human Rights: A Review of Literature China often faces the criticisms in human rights records. Comparing to the eagerly expectation of improving human rights situation from west world, the response of China government and Chinese seems far from warm. These strange reactions raise an issue. Furthermore, I will try to find the possible causes and the consequences of this issue, and finally, put forward some possible solutions. The Issues China has many issues in human rights. The beginning of critiques comes from the Tiananmen Accident. As Wan Ming pointed out, “Western rights pressure since 1989 has had an indirect impact”. Since the US and some other countries put strong pressure on Chinese government, Beijing realized that legal form is a necessity in human rights progress (Wan). However, after noticing the democratization could “erode the party dominance”, CPC (Communist Party of China) choose to resist the pressure from Western (Wan). The most severe critiques of China’s human rights come from the one child policy. China adapted birth control since the population pressure since Mao era; and then, China became the only country that “using legislation and administration power to control the birth rate”(Chen). Since China has a traditional patriarchal mentality misconception, there are many baby girls being abandoned. As Chen cited the statistic from Sarah Lubman, “Close to 800,000 baby girls abandoned or killed in a single region between 1971-80 alone” (Chen). Not...

...The failure of banks can always be prevented by numerous ways. The main technique is to establish the system of regulation in order to reduce the risk of bank failing. With the regulation, the banks would be authorised on the basis of meeting minimum standards, and will continued to be supervised to ensure that certain standards or requirements are maintained. This would instill more confidence to the economic actors.[1] The risk of the banks become poorly capitalised, fraudulently or incompetently run compared to if no system of external regulation were take place will be lower. Unfortunately, the regulation does not perform well as an alternative for the regulation by the market, nor replace the need for management to take prime responsibility for bank’s activities. As time goes by, there has been increasing recognition of both the limitation of regulation and its role. [2] Perhaps, the market discipline will play a greater role in financial and to bring benefits in future. Nevertheless, an effective system of regulation still play an important role in minimising the risk of bank failure and to maintain consumers’ confidence in the banking system. Banking Regulation: Objectives and Rationales The main objectives of banking regulation are to protect the investors and provide prevention of bank failures and depositor runs as well as minimisation of the risk of contagion that these may create.[3] The term regulation is used in a broad sense, Goodhart used it to refer to the...

...Inauguration Speeches are a custom that has existed since the very first inauguration featuring the United States first president, George Washington. During Washington’s second inauguration, after his re-election, Washington gave the shortest Inaugural address on record. This address was just 135 words. Nonetheless, every president since Washington has delivered an Inaugural address. The purpose of this address is for presidents to present their vision of the country (United States) and to set forth their goals for the nation. With that being said, this paper will use the strategy of genre analysis to critique to examine Barack Obama’s second Inaugural Address and John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech. Genre analysis is a type of rhetorical analysis that examines speeches based on the artifacts or commonalities that contain. The artifacts of speech are created by the rhetor as a response to a specific exigency. So as Bitzer’s essay, The Rhetorical Situation, saw it, in order for a text to be rhetorical, it must come in response to a rhetorical situation. Furthermore a rhetorical situation has three characteristics, an audience, an existence of constraints, and as mentioned above, an exigency. One manner, in which we can analyze an artifact, is through...

...EFFECTIVE LISTENING ‘An effective listener is a person who is able to respond empathetically to another person, retaining objectivity and not becoming sucked into someone else’s mire’ (Porrit, L. 1990 p.83). There is a difference between listening and hearing. Hearing, a psychological activity which involves occurs when various sound eaves hit our ear drums. Whereas, listening, it relies on our ears, minds, hearts, and whole body. What do we hear first? Is it the message or oral sound? Do absorb what is being said or not being said? Do we accept the person wholeheartedly during the situation, if we hear? The focus of the essay will verify that there are seven processes to listening. Secondly, whilst listing positive aspects of effective listening. Finally, I hope to show that effective listening benefits all those involved and improves a situation when entering their understanding by leaving out judgments and reasons. Why must we effectively listen? According to Julia T.Wood (2012), Interpersonal Communication: Everyday Counters, she states three guidelines to effective listening. That is being mindful, adapt listening appropriately, and listen actively. When receiving communication one-way, a good communicator must be mindful. This bears a lot of discipline as it the first and most important principle of effective listening. It requires that we put aside preoccupations such as checking text messages or daydreaming and preconceptions such as avoiding argument and try to understand...

...The African American community during the 1960’s continued to struggle with racial inequality. Martin Luther King Jr. attempted to get rid of racial discrimination by leading a series of peaceful protests. Police Commissioner Eugene Conner did not tolerate the protests and sent his men to stop them from protesting by using violence. This and the continuing of protests forced President Kennedy to put an end to the injustices towards African Americans by proposing a bill that desegregated public areas and provided them with more job opportunities. In 1963, the March on Washington took place, with approximately 250,000 people, including whites.*Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on that day, but segregation continued...

Interestingly, it was later revealed that the van transporting the gold to the airport broke down on route and panic followed.[1] A chartered plane ferried the precious cargo to London between 21 May and 31 May 1991, jolting the country out of an economic slumber.[9] The Chandra Shekhar government had collapsed a few months after having authorized the airlift.[9] The move helped tide over the balance of payment crisis and kick-started P.V.Narasimha Rao’s economic reform process.[2] P.

Mr President you said in the State of the Nation address that “we should put South Africa first. All of us have a patriotic duty and responsibility to build and promote our country.” You further said “The National Development Plan provides a perfect vehicle for united action precisely because it has the support of South Africans across the political and cultural spectrum. Leaders in every avenue should be ready to rise above sectional interests and with great maturity, pull together to take this country forward.” This challenge applies to all sections of our society: business, labour, public representatives, activists and citizens in every part of the country. As we pointed out in the 2012 Budget, global economic uncertainty will remain with us for some time. South Africa’s economic outlook is improving, but requires that we actively pursue a different trajectory if we are to address the challenges ahead. 1 2013 Budget Speech Under your leadership Mr President, we have opened new channels of communication and built more cohesion among...

...The writings of Mary Wollstonecraft directly and indirectly explore the irony of the woman’s position in Wollstonecraft’s culture: the female figure is at once central and alienated. The following annotated bibliography features articles about the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft by Steven Blakemore, Maria J. Falco, Cindy L. Griffin, and Vivian Jones. Three of the four authors take a feminist approach: Falco provides a collection of feminist critiques of Wollstonecraft’s work; Griffin asserts that Wollstonecraft is the first author to write about an alienation from the perspective of women’s issues and rights; and Jones’s essay comments on the sexualizing of the historical narrative by Helen Maria Williams and Mary Wollstonecraft. Blakemore provides a different approach, examining Miltonic references in Vindications of the rights of woman. References (Blakemore S 1992 Rebellious reading: the doubleness of Wollstonecraft's subversion of Paradise Lost)Blakemore, S. (1992). Rebellious reading: the doubleness of Wollstonecraft's subversion of Paradise lost. Texas Studies in Literature and Language, 34, 451-80. Blakemore’s article is a close reading of the Miltonic references in Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the rights of woman. His argument centers on the proposition that during the revolutionary period writers attempted to subvert texts which “stressed the satanic dangers of epistemological curiosity” (p. 451). However, he feels that Wollstonecraft’s use of Milton rebounds...

...of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating black people. This text, while certainly a biography of his life, is in fact an illustration of the problem facing African Americans by detailing the problems of one. By showing how he has risen from servitude to success, he demonstrates how others of his race can do the same, as well as how sympathizers can aid in the process.[1] This book was first released as a serialized work in 1900 through The Outlook, a Christian newspaper of New York. It is important to mention that this work was serialized because this meant that during the writing process, Washington was able to hear critiques and requests from his audience and could more easily adapt his paper to his diverse audience.[2] First Cover of The Outlook, Newspaper...

...as a species, humans cannot progress without either one of them. Maggie Humm and Rebecca Walker divide the history of feminism into three waves. The first wave transpired in the nineteenth and early twentieth century’s, the second occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, and the third extends from the 1990s to the present. In each wave of the movement, though men have taken part in significant responses to feminism, the relationship between men and feminism has been complex. Historically, a number of men have engaged with feminism. Philosopher Jeremy Bentham demanded equal rights for women in the eighteenth century. In 1866, philosopher John Stuart Mill presented a women's petition to the British Parliament and supported an amendment to the 1867 Reform Bill. An extension of feminism into theoretical or philosophical fields such as anthropology, sociology, economics, women's studies, literary criticism, art history, and psychoanalysis is called feminist theory. Feminist theory aims to understand gender inequality and focuses on gender politics, power...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
