...“How is Your Personal Economy? Abstract The discussion of the book entitled “The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke” by Suze Orman, and “Let’s Get Real About Money” by Eric Tyson is one that measures an individual’s knowledge on how to handle their money and ways to make it grow to benefit them. Key points found in both books deals with a lot of the economic aspects of our society today. By using both books as references and knowledge gained from the microeconomics book, This paper discusses the benefits of both books for one’s overall ability to be financially sound, even if you think you may live in an un-financially sound society. Although, both books are geared toward readers in different stages of their lives, they do bring up the questions of whether or not these individuals understand the concept of money, or how it should be a benefit and not a hindrance, and also that it is truly not the happiness factor for life that several millions believe the case to be. The one idea that should be taken from this paper is the knowing whether or not you are financially healthy enough to fit your needs, goals, and desires. What is an economy? It is a type of management of one’s resources. Whether its money, oil, food, land, or a type of service, knowing how to manage one’s own resources, is key to having a great personal economy, even when your countries’ economy isn’t doing so well. To make it even simpler, when talking about one’s personal economy, I talk about...

...The campaign for suffrage - a historical background Today, all British citizens over the age of eighteen share a fundamental human right: the right to vote and to have a voice in the democratic process. But this right is only the result of a hard fought battle. The suffrage campaigners of the nineteenth and early twentieth century struggled against opposition from both parliament and the general public to eventually gain the vote for the entire British population in 1928. ------------------------------------------------- Who took part in the campaign? The first women's suffrage bill came before parliament in 1870. Soon after its defeat, in 1897, various local and national suffrage organisations came together under the banner of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) specifically to campaign for the vote for women on the same terms 'it is or may be granted to men'. The NUWSS was constitutional in its approach, preferring to lobby parliament with petitions and hold public meetings. In contrast, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), formed in 1903, took a more militant view. Almost immediately, it characterised its campaign with violent and disruptive actions and events. Together, these two organisations dominated the campaign for women's suffrage and were run by key figures such as the Pankhurstsand Millicent Fawcett. However, there were other organisations prominent in the campaign, including the Women's Freedom League (WFL). These groups were often...
