...What was the short-term significance of the Edwardian reformation? Edward VI’s reign lasted just 6 years, such a short time in power and at a very young age meant that he had very little time to have a significant effect on England’s policy of religion. However he did make some important changes. Edward was a strong Protestant, along with his Protector the Duke of Somerset and the Duke Northumberland. They were ultimately responsible for the small changes made to religious practice. Four contemporary sources support both arguments of whether there were or were not any short-term significant effects as a result of the Edwardian reformation. This reformation is responsible for the reaffirming and finalising of the religious changes brought about by Henry’s reformation, the move towards Protestantism. Source 15.8 supports the idea that Edward’s reign was met with relatively low opposition when it says, ‘during the whole time of the six years of this king, much tranquillity was granted to the whole Church of England’ and consequently implies that the people welcomed the new policies. In turn it can be inferred that England was more Protestant leaning by the end of his fathers reign and so Edward’s time on the thrown was vital in grounding it into everyday life. The measures taken by Edward’s advisors began with the order for all clergymen to preach in English and have an English bible along with Protestant literature in every parish church. This was called the Royal Injunctions...

According the author, we have only looked at this event in the eyes of its historical significance and what the riots meant in that time period. However, there has never truly been a psychological analysis to the thoughts of these young men at the time and their thoughts...

...offenders go after they commit a crime? Depending on the type and extent of the crime, they either go to jail or prison. What would life be without morals, rights and judicial laws? If the world was without order and no one supported the structure of containing crime with correctional and facilities, the world may be in pandemonium; full of gangs, violence killing, rape, suicide and a world if corrupt figures. Jail and prison facilities play a significant role in providing structure and governmental law enforcement. Jail and Prison Jail and prison are the same in many ways. According to (CJ interactive), each is a form of supervised detention, they both meet the minimal daily needs of detainees, and they both segregate inmates to some degree from staff, the community, and one another. As far as behavioral issues, both experience a variety of violent behavior; such as, riots which included mutilation, torture, beatings, and sexual assault. Though they have noticeable similarities, they are very much different and are commonly confused. Jail is a locally-operated, short term facility where as prison is a state or federally operated, long term facility. Jails are mainly used for detaining inmates awaiting trial or sentencing. They can also house inmates who have been sentenced for less than a year. This will vary depending on the state. Prisons are long term facilities used after sentencing, where felons and inmates are housed for more than a year. These sentencing guidelines...

...Doing Business in Saudi Arabia 1) Prepare a short description of the most striking cultural characteristics that may affect business interaction in this country. Doing business in Saudi Arabia requires significant research if I expect to be successful. There are many cultural differences that must be taken in consideration prior to and during business interactions. The Saudi Arabian culture, its shared values and norms, is distinctly different from our western culture. Saudi Arabian social structure emphasizes a group rather than individualism. Saudi’s are more likely to identify themselves as a part of something (e.g., “I am from Exxon Mobil”) rather than identifying their individual role (e.g., “I am an engineer”). It will also be important to understand the social stratification within Saudi Arabia. Having a working knowledge of the significance of the tribal affiliations as well as the varied groups of which someone can be a part will help me to understand which individuals I need to approach and build relationships with in order to be successful in the region. It will also be incredibly important for me to understand the role of religion, specifically Islam, in the region and how it affects work ethic, business decisions, and simple logistics throughout the day. As Americans, we are focused on our work and we allow very little to get in the way of our accomplishments. Saudi’s are very different. Work is secondary to many things, most notably, religion...

...and ask some basic questions: What is shadow banking, where did it come from, how did it operate, what role did it play in recent financial crisis and how do we deal with it going forward? Shadow Banking System definition The financial intermediaries involved in facilitating the creation of credit across the global financial system, but whose members are not subject to regulatory oversight. The shadow banking system also refers to unregulated activities by regulated institutions. Comprising Entities The Shadow banking system entities that make up the system is made up of non-depository banks as well as other financial entities which included insurers, hedge funds, investment banks, money market funds, structured investment vehicles, conduits and monolines. Two examples of well-known shadow banking institutions are Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. Shadow banking institutions are usually the middle men between the investors and borrowers making it possible for both parties to meet. For instance, if a corporation is looking for funds to borrow, at the same time an institutional investor like Bear Stearns or Lehman Brothers may be willing to lend money. This is where the shadow banking institution steps in to create a passage of funds from investor to the corporation. It seems almost pointless for shadow banking system to do this for no profit. Shadow institutions make their money from fees or from difference in interest rates. Significance Between 2000 and 2008 shadow...

...What in your view was the short-term significance of the Second World War on India? The Second World War had a profound effect on India, politically, economically and socially: I will be examining this and how the war ultimately bought about India as an independent nation. This essay will examine the short-term significance of Second World War on India (1939-47). September 3rd 1939 Viceroy Linlithgow, with no consultation or warning, committed over 300 million Indians to war with an enemy they knew little about. India had a long history of being ruled by Britain since it established a trading post there in the 17th century, and this declaration showed how they were still part of the British Empire. Whilst many rejected fascist ideologies, for the predominately Hindu populace, for whom engagement in violence was in direct contravention of their religion’s teachings, involvement in European war was deeply resented. “Nowhere do these great principles of morality and justice mean more than in India”. This statement, by Viceroy Linlithgow, following his declaration of war, illustrates how imperialistic and short-sighted Britain was to their relationship with India as these ‘principles’ had no place in how India was governed. For nearly 200 years the British Empire had suppressed India into submission, turning it an east-empire trading dock. This shows that even though India had been a huge help in the First World War many British officials still believed in India still being...

Trust, initially put into the service of Pramtex, started to diminish when Pramtex missed out on assisting them properly after the emergency breakdown. It seemed unexpected that Pramtex, a company striving to be the technology leader in their sector, acted in such an unprofessional way. Key players at Kimura and their respective roles Kimura has a decision making unit (DMU) that has the typical characteristics of a buying center: All those players have different motives and jobs to fulfill and therefore have different ideas of value. Mr. Kimura is the President and final decision maker of the company (the decider). His goal was to minimize the start-up curve, so his production employees could adapt faster to the new machines. Mr Nomura, who is the top scientist of Kimura KK and Senior R&D Advisor was highly convinced by the performance and features of the Spartacus machines. He might have been influenced by emotional value and therefore thrilled Kimura on the buying decision (influencer). He therefore carries a large responsibility in the final buying decision.

...of “who they are’ when the movie begins, and then tell the story of what happens over the course of the film. Away from Her is a motion picture designed to depict a realistic story of the challenges individuals must face when a family member is diagnosed and is experiencing the effects of Alzheimer's disease. The onset of the film describes the lives of Fiona and Grant Anderson, who had been married for over forty-four years. They lived in Fiona's grandparent's home in Ontario for most of their marriage, and shared similar interests in their hobby's and lifestyle. The movie progresses by depicting their routine ski trekking on a frozen lake and casual readings together. The purpose of depicting aspects of their everyday life was to enhance the sharp contrast in Fiona's behaviors as her Alzheimer's progressed. At first, Grant believed that her moments of forgetfulness were just that, but the occurrences became more drastic over time. The turning point that clearly demonstrated Fiona's Alzheimer development was her wandering across the forest in the freezing cold, where Grant had to drive around town to find her looking at the sights over a bridge far from home. This led to an official diagnosis of Fiona's Alzheimer's disease, and left them with the difficult challenge with what to do next. The option to admit Fiona in Meadowlakes Alzheimer's care center was strongly supported by Fiona herself, and Grant was resistant towards her placement after visiting the center. After mild...

...Unit 5013V1 – Leadership Practice Task 1 A.C 1.1 – Discuss the concept of managers as effective leaders For a manager who leads a sales department in a medium sized construction materials company there are a number of responsibilities. These evolve around setting direction, motivating and inspiring the team and individuals, and co-ordinating workload and outputs. In order to manage effectively they would use the following methods/behaviours based around the key functions according to Henri Fayol; * Plan and make forecasts * organise work and schedule * co-ordinate the team/individuals * set tasks/give instructions and detail * monitor progress In addition, these management methods and behaviours are combined with a number of leadership functions which include; * Building a vision * Inspiring others * Motivating and empowering * Develop trust (with-in your team/sub-ordinates) * Looking at the bigger picture * People – knowing who they are Whilst these functions and behaviours appear as separate lists, Colenso (1997) identified that if executed with the correct balance the functions of a manager and leader can complement each other in order to deliver the desired result. Further-more, although there are two sets of skills/functions it must be recognised that it is most likely that the manager and leader are the same person. Therefore a combination of both sets is required in order for that person to be an effective manager and...

...Unit 1 Week 1: For this post, the services offered at Massage Envy are massages and facials. The massages and facials are given by licensed professionals. Anyone can purchase these services. These services are provided in order to help customers alleviate pain, relax, and achieve clearer skin. The determining factor to provide these services is that there was a need for this type of services because of the higher stress levels in life from work, etc and this causes pain, stress, and sometimes uneven skin tones. The impact of this service is that people can use these services to help alleviate pain, relax, have clearer skin, and not spend as much money by going to the doctor for the same problem. The trade-offs of the goods and services are that the consumer can come in with aches and pains and leave after an hour to two hour massages with relief. A facial can restore firmness, reduce redness, minimize wrinkles, and exfoliates the skin. The trade-off for having a licensed professional to give these services is that other places may not have licensed professionals who know what they are supposed to do. The trade-off of the people who purchase these services from this place is that they can receive these services for slightly cheaper prices as compared to other massage places (Massage Envy, 2013).
