...Why should the United Kingdom be your destination for higher education? The United Kingdom attracts one of the largest internationally mobile student bodies seeking higher education from around the world. Home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, the Kingdom has established numerous universities which provide high-quality education, facilities and research opportunities to the student demographic looking for advancement in the education career. The reasons that elevate the United Kingdom as an education destination are the quality of education, research opportunities that follow after students have enrolled or completed their universities, lower study costs, shorter study programs and the statistics that show that graduates educated in the United Kingdom have remarkably higher average salaries than if they had been educated in their home countries. According to an on-line global Student Decision Making survey conducted by the British council in 2007, United Kingdom attracts 10% of total internationally mobile students each year. Within the migrating population, 59% reported choosing the UK solely because of the quality of education. To confirm that the high standards of academic education, teaching, support and facilities are maintained, the universities are regularly analyzed, ranked and compared annually. QS world university ranking is an information database that compare and rank universities across the world and help students make researched comparisons...

...Care Procedures This paper will critique a qualitative research study about how nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures. These articles also explains how nurses view informed consent as not being essential to nursing care procedures. PROBLEM STATEMENT The clinical problem being examined in the research study is the way in which nurses obtain consent prior to administering nursing care procedures, and the way nurses manage patients who refuse any nursing care procedures. By stating that nurses “do not regard obtaining consent as an absolute requirement” also stating that “consent is preferred but no considered essential” the significance is established and a clinical problem identified (Aveyard, 2004). The author identifies the need for further education of nurses on the need to obtain informed consent for nursing care procedures, and the need for more research of this topic. The role of persuasion in situations of informed consent has been widely commented on. Many commentators argue that the health care provider has a duty not only to give information but also to persuade the recipient of care to accept the course of action considered most appropriate for the patients’ safety. PURPOSE and RESEARCH QUESTIONS The study clearly identifies the aim of the study as “to examine the way in which nurses manage patients who refuse nursing care procedures (Aveyard, 2004).” The study identifies two main purposes for the research study as: To examine how...

...Scotland is an ancient nation with beautiful land and vast potential stemming from their top education and resources. Shaped from generations, Scotland carries rich values of equality, compassion and passion. Being part of the United Kingdom, Scotland has been deprived of some of its values, being tied down and letting the Westminster Government (UK) take the control of the wheel. For independency, it is more than just the government; it is about Scotland’s people making a democratic decision about power in the values that reflects its own people and their priorities. If Scotland was to be independent, the decisions will reflect the people who live and work there. The three main principles of Scotland’s independency are: the people of Scotland will always get governments they vote for; they will control their own resources and make their own decisions about their economy and lastly, will decide...

I chose this topic because the Scottish independence is a problem of great importance not only for the UK and Scotland, but also for the whole Europe. While doing my research I found very strong and opposing opinions about this recent topic. Scottish independence is a relevant and important matter that has been debated for many years but is now at the pinnacle of debate. Both public and politicians and opposing opinions about independence and throughout this work I will evaluate the most current and most emotive arguments for and against independence. First, I will speak about the historical background of this issue and about the parties “fighting” for independence. Next, I will represent for and against arguments, which will help to understand this complicated issue. Chapter I General information ...

Hehir explains how the 2004 Female Genital Mutilation Act, a legislation to criminalize FGM in the United Kingdom, is indicative of the the way anti-FGM leaders impede on women’s autonomy. To support this claim, the article outlines how the government has the power to remove passports, restrict movement and inspect the genitals of young “at risk” girls. Through the use of up to date statistics, Hehir demonstrates the prevalence of circumcised women currently living in the United Kingdom who she believes are in need of support regarding their access to personal...

...Abstract Having fixed-term Parliaments in the United Kingdom is something that has been debated across the political spectrum for some years and, with the enactment of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011, is no longer something which is merely debated, but a political and constitutional reality. The Act came into force with little consultation, research, or advice to or by the Government; it was exceptionally hurried legislation. This means that there is little written on the wider constitutional effects of the Act, and it is exactly that which this essay will try to examine. To analyse the Act’s significance I have looked at the position prior to the Act and what the Act changed, before moving on to examining and critically assessing the plethora of arguments that both sides put forward. A fuller copy of this paper is available upon request. 1 The Position Before the Act and how the Act has Changed it: The changing of election timing in the United Kingdom is something that is not often tampered with. The Meeting of Parliament Act 1694 provided that a general election for Parliament must be held (at most) every three years. The Septennial Act 1715 changed this to a maximum of seven years. Finally the Parliament Act 1911 amended this to provide for a five-year maximum term before a general election must be called. Before the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011 the power to dissolve Parliament was retained by the Crown, under the royal prerogative. The royal...
