The Indian Polity is governed in terms of the Constitution. The President is the constitutional head of Executive of the Union.

Article 74(1) of the Constitution provides that there shall be a Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister to aid and advise the President who exercises his functions, act in accordance with such advice. The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the LokSabha.

The Sixth Lok Sabha worked for about two years and four months and the Ninth Lok Sabha was in rule for one year and two months. Even in the states, the regional parties or the non-congress parties have gained in importance over these years. The renowned leaders among this loksabhas were Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Ms. Indira Gandhi, Mr. Moorarjee Desai, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, Mr. V.P.Singh, Mr. AtalBihari Vajpayee, Mr. P.V.NarshimaRao, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee and Mr. LalkrishnaAdvani.. Each of these leaderswas effective in their style and overcome obstacles of their time to bring changes in political system. 4.1. Mr. NarendraModi: Mr. NarendraModi was born on 17 September 1950 in a middle-class family in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of Ahemdabad (with in Bombay state at that time), India. He is a vegetarian. He completed his schooling in Vadnagar. He earned a masters degree in political science from Gujarat University. 4.1.1 Personality: Mr. Modi is known for leading a frugal lifestyle.

After working as a full-time organizer for the organization, he was later nominated as its representative in the BJP.In 2001; he was elected as Chief Minister of Gujarat succeeding to Keshubhai Patel. But he was asked to resign in 2002. In resultant election he won the elections with 127 seats from 182 seats in state assembly. In 2007, he won election against Sonia Gandhi with his hi-charge speeches and continued the post of CM. In 2011, he started 3 days fast as a part of Sadbhavana mission with a view to strengthen the peace, unity and harmony in the state. In 2011, he won again and continued at the same post. This proves that he has that aroma around his personality that attracts lots of peoples confiden ce in him.

Thus BJP is in rule successfully in Gujarat since 1995. 4.1.3 Special Achievements: Despite various controversies against him, he has been awarded in different category.

Risk-taker: He understands that if theres one way the state could turn eyes, that is by opening the state. He knows the corporates would do the rest, all he has to do is to attempt them in, and make people his end customers, believe that it is basically him who does it all by taking immense risk. Thinker: As an analyzer he ultimately knows what kind of effect would last-long on his team, people and media. He would constantly make sure that somehow, people keep talking about him. This maybe a typical politicians game, but Modis style is different. By this, he maintains a brand value like no other. His target is wide and his ways of reaching them are very few. His branding methods sometimes cost him a part of his own reputation, but he knows when it is worth. He knows his powers and most of all, his weaknesses. This makes him and his enterprise (state) invincible. Inspirational to Youth: He inspires the youth on large scale and strengthens them through providing all they need to excel in terms of better infrastructure. He is a crowd puller as a speaker. Future Prospective: He has proved from his leadership in Gujarat, that he can bring the required changes in Indian Political system that can bring sustainable development on large to benefit country on large. So he is the most favorable candidate from BJP for the next Prime Minister of India. 4.2 Sonia Gandhi: Sonia Gandhi (born Edvige Antonia AlbinaMaino; 9 December 1946) is an Italian-born Indian politician, She is the widow of former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi and belongs to the Nehru-Gandhi family.

In September 2010, on being re-elected for the fourth time, she became the longest serving president in the 125-year history of the Congress party. Her foreign birth has been a subject of much debate and controversy. Although she is the fifth foreign-born person to be leader of the Congress Party, she is the first since independence in 1947. 4.2.1.

Taking New Challenges: Being open to taking on new challenges. Despite of various controversy related to her foreign origin, she joined party and proved her worth. Breaking Language Barriers: Breaking out of the Italian on Indian soil mould was probably one of the most difficult things for her to do, considering her Hindi was heavily-accented and there were enough detractors in the opposition to play up the foreigner card. But instead of giving up, she worked on her language skills and became the force behind the pro-poor programmes of the Congress-led UPA government an Endeavour which took her to the mofussil villages of India where Hindi was the only language spoken. So much so, that this campaign helped Congress win elections again in 2009. Rejuvenating Self: She is always rejuvenating self, from small town Italian girl to one of the most powerful women in the world, she has come a long way.

Symbolism in Trifles by Susan Glaspell Essay -- Sybolism Trifles Susan

Symbolism in Trifles by Susan Glaspell In today's society, we generally view upon everyone as equal beings who deserve equal rights. At the turn of the 20th century, this particular view didn?t exist. Men clearly dominated almost every aspect of life and women were often left with little importance. The Wright?s embody this view of roles in Susan Glaspell?s play Trifles. Mrs. Wright was a typical woman who suffered the mental abuse from her husband and was caged from life. In Trifles, a mixture of symbolism of oppression illustrates Mrs. Minnie Wright?s motives to kill her husband and to escape from imprisonment. In the play, the setting takes place in an "abandoned" and "gloomy" farmhouse out in the country. Almost immediately does the reader get the impression that it is a very secluded and cold place. The coldness of the setting in many ways resembles the aloofness of Mr. Wright who is described as "hard man" and "a raw wind that gets to the bone." Most of the play revolves around the women and the kitchen. While the men scramble throughout the house looking for evidence or hints of a motive for death, the women stumble upon the entire mystery while remaining at the place where they were told to remain and gather items Mrs. Wright. The kitchen too seems like a remote place and much resembles the marriage between Mr. and Mrs. Wright. The kitchen is the spot where Mrs. Wright (and most women of the time) spent most of their time in. Like the cage to the canary, ...

Athlete’s Warehouse Essay

Executive Summary Colin’s unemployment status has caused him to consider opening up his own business. His dilemma is deciding where to locate his business; either at Great Eastern Building downtown or Exploits Valley in the mall. Due to him being unemployed, Colin needs to begin earning an income to live. To do so he needs to improve his projected sales so that his net income would be sufficient to live on and to be able to pay back Ed’s investment in the business. The most feasible solution to Colin’s situation is opening up the business downtown at the Great Eastern Building. This location produces a higher net income and a lower break even point than the mall. Although the net income starts out quite low, once the business is established as a quality store with good merchandise and excellent customer service, customers loyal to them will return to their store when they have a need or want that they can fill. Before the business is up and running, Colin must determine how he will integrate the four aspects of the marketing mix to satisfy his target market. He will need to decide how he will promote his store to the local citizens in the best way possible, while giving them what they want and need on good quality products at affordable, competitive prices. Statement of Problem Given that Colin is in an unfortunate situation, his primary concern now is deciding whether or not to open up a business. His immediate issue resulting from this dilemma is that he must decide where to locate his business. It is this particular dilemma that Colin needs to confront the issue of improving projected sales for the possibility of incurring a profit. In addition to currently being out of work, Colin is looking to change his unemployed status. Colin must first consider his target market and then take into account the marketing mix when deciding where to locate and how he can make the business profitable. This is a two-step process that is the main focus  of any marketing manager’s job. Analysis of Situation Due to Colin’s unfortunate state of affairs and the situation of his last business, he must immediately find work to earn an income. Before deciding whether or not he should open up a business, he needs to clearly define the market which the company would be gearing towards. Then he needs to manage the marketing process using product, price, place, and promotion. This is also known as the four Ps of the marketing mix. His business plan must be feasible and reasonable to be able to make his business successful. Many factors must be taken into consideration before deciding where to locate. To do so, he must consider the rent, the size of the store, competition in the area, pedestrian traffic and other things of a similar nature. Colin should construct a projected income statement and break even analysis to compare the two locations to find out which site is more profitable. Furthermore, to avoid his previous cash flow problem he needs to make sure his inventory turnover is not too high and that he does not tie up all his capital in his assets. Either way would tie up his cash and he will not be able to pay his expenses again causing him to declare bankruptcy. This business has a better chance of succeeding than the last one because this time around Colin will be able to devote all his time to the business instead of letting Ed take care of it for the most part. Action Plan For Colin to start working, he must open up a business at the Great Eastern Building. Opening up a business in this location will not only provide Colin with work but it can also help him earn an income. This location not only provides the store with a lower rent than Exploits Valley; it also allows Colin to set his own store hours. This gives him the flexibility to work when he wants and needs to. Since Colin does not like working for others, this situation is ideal for him. To make his business successful, Colin must consider an integration of price, promotion, place, and product. He must also try and distance themselves from their competition. To do so the brothers must maintain the quality of their  merchandise and customer service, reasonable prices, and improve their promotion strategies. For one thing, the price of his products must be within a reasonable range of his competition: Sports Experts. Too low and consumers may think he is offering low quality merchandise; too high and most people will not consider purchasing from his store. Also, Colin must preserve the excellent service he is known for. Prospective customers will go to his store even though pedestrian traffic is not as high as Exploits Valley’s due to his expertise in sports clothing and equipment. He must also uphold merchandise quality because even though he continues to provide advice to consumers, if his products are too shabby, most would not consider returning to his sto re. Attracting his target market will comprise of one thing in marketing: providing them with what they want and need . To help promote his store to his target market, Colin must not rely on word-of-mouth advertising even if the location of the store is in a small town. He must attract a potential customer’s eye to enter his store. Distribution of flyers or even through the local radio station will suffice because the store is not located next to the highway. Although the projected sales are lower than the other location, the projected net income is higher (see Exhibit B). These figures are conservative due to the GAAP conservatism principle . Furthermore, for Colin to break even at Great Eastern he can sell less than he would have had to at Exploits Valley (see Exhibit C). Therefore, it will be easier to make a profit at Great Eastern than at Exploits Valley. Contingency The business may not generate the amount of sales projected, thus not being able to incur a profit. Furthermore, pedestrian traffic may also not be up to par which could possibly lower the number of prospective customers. This would lead to lower sales than expected. Similarly, Colin’s expenses may be more than predicted. There could be some unforeseen problems that need to be fixed. For example, his employee turnover could be higher than expected if  the staff he trains is not satisfied working there, they will leave and find employment elsewhere. Not only will they take his expertise with them, but Colin will have to train new employees. Consequently, more money will be needed which will add to his expenses, therefore lowering his net income. Some of these problems combined could lead to another closure. Should Colin’s new business fail after the first year, he should declare bankruptcy and start looking for employment elsewhere.

The article being reviewed in this essay, Essays The article being reviewed in this essay, Essay The article being reviewed in this essay, Essay The article being reviewed in this essay, ‘Land Tenure Insecurity and Inequality in Nicaragua’ by Rikke J Broegaard, was written in September 2005 as a research paper for the Danish Institute for International Studies. It represents the continuance of research work carried out by Broegaard in this field. Indeed, it was the capable country of his PhD research. Indeed, in my sentiment, the most interesting facet of this survey is to compare the development of both methods and thoughts from Broegaard’s earlier work. Subsequently in this essay, I will be looking at an article carbon monoxide written by Broegaard in 2002, and will be looking more closely at how his work has developed. To decently reexamine this article, it is necessary to to the full understand the historical context of this research, and I will seek to make this briefly at the beginning of this paper. At the nucleus of this issue is the land expropriated under the Sandinista authorities jurisprudence that declared a piece of belongings abandoned if the proprietor was off for six months or more, three months if the proprietor went to the USA. The Sandinista authorities made land ownership for the hapless a precedence through the 1980’s, and under their land Torahs, land was parcelled out to 200,000 of the country’s poorest households by the manner of 30ft ten 15ft secret plans. Unfortunately, the authorities failed to supply rubrics to the land. When the Sandinista authorities fell in the 1990 elections, the full system crumbled. Previous landholders, who had fled Nicaragua, returned to the state to repossess the belongingss which they had abandoned. The authoritiess who have followed the Sandinistas into power have wholly failed to decide the land issues. Indeed the state of affairs appears to hold become more helter-skelter than of all time. As has been stated by Carol Hartman, â€Å"Nicaragua’s long term stableness could depend on deciding this thorny issue.† ( 1 ) This has non happened. Harmonizing to Mark Everingham: â€Å"The triumph of Arnoldo Aleman and the broad confederation in October 1996 raised optimism among 1000s of claimants who were disappointed with the Chamorro government’s willingness to suit Sandinista objectives.† ( 2 ) This optimism was short lived. New Torahs on belongings statute law introduced in February 1998 fell into pandemonium when the Supreme Court found that the authorities bureau had authorized the return of belongingss already titled to other parties. Claimants were forced to prosecute their instances entirely through the tribunals. The state of affairs was competently described by Mark Everingham in his article: â€Å"The sudden convergence of electoral democracy and neo-liberal rules thrust the establishment of belongings into a competition between resurgent confiscated involvements and embattled Sandinist constituents.† ( 3 ) The state of affairs has non truly changed to this twenty-four hours. Over shadowing this whole procedure is the issue of the legality of publishing rubrics without holding compensated the former landholders. Within this historical context, Broegaard has written this article to show and compare the sensed land term of office state of affairss of husbandmans within different legal term of office state of affairss. The survey was carried out in three neighboring small towns in south western Nicaragua. In entire 349 families were studied utilizing a combination of quantitive and qualitive methods. The group chosen to analyze were selected to stand for a widespread group of land term of office state of affairss and populating conditions. The survey included small town leaders, co-op leaders, leaders of the farm workers brotherhood, local spiritual leaders and the few affluent and powerful landholders in the country. I was ab initio uneasy with the thought of including these groups in the survey, seeing a potency for the consequences of a little survey to go deformed. But with the benefit of hindsight, I realised that Broegaard was seeking to understand this issue from all positions within the community and he was hence right to include these subdivisions within his survey group. On the web site of the ‘Danish Institute for International Studies’ , this article is introduced in the undermentioned footings: â€Å"A big group of husbandmans in the instance analyze country perceive their term of office state of affairs as being insecure despite the fact that they posses a legal rubric to their land. The article argues that more attending must be paid to facets such as inequalities of wealth and power, deficiency of enforcement and deficiency of nonpartisanship on the portion of the formal establishments when turn toing term of office security in an institutionally unstable puting, such as that found in Nicaragua.† ( 4 ) Broegaard has sought to accomplish these consequences by understanding the complexness of the issues in topographic point, and has moved off from the conceptual model of land term of office security which was developed chiefly by economic experts. Broegaard states that: â€Å"Over the decennaries a re-conceptualization has emerged through the integrating of findings from ( legal ) anthropologists and history.† ( 5 ) He goes on to province that: â€Å"The re-conceptualization brings into the argument the thought that a deficiency of single land rubrics does non needfully intend that the land term of office is insecure, and that single formal rubrics may non significantly strengthen term of office security.† ( 6 ) This re-conceptualization is discussed at great length by Broegaard within this article and is really much at the nucleus of the treatment countries and his decisions. This new conceptual model has allowed him to acknowledge that â€Å"corruption, high costs of land rubrics and a really expensive legal system preclude effectual and equal enforcement of land rubrics, particularly for hapless, little graduated table farmers.† ( 7 ) It has besides allows an accent to be placed upon differences of wealth and power between family, and the development of the thought that rubrics can supply tenure security to some families but non to others. As a remark against what Broegaards describes as econometric surveies, he stated that â€Å"this focal point sidestepped the fact that ; in many contexts, title ownership is non needfully equated with holding a high degree of term of office security.† ( 8 ) This re-conceptualization represents a ample displacement in accent from old articles by Broegaard, and in peculiar, an article co-written in 2002. The article entitled ‘Property Rights and Land Tenure Security in Nicaragua’ took a much more economic position of this relationship, something which is non surprising, sing the support organic structure. In this survey, Broegaard used what he called arrested development analyses. He states that: â€Å"Regression analyses is used to research channels through which belongings rights influence socio-economic results. It is found that formal land paperss cut down term of office insecurity, heighten the value of land, promote consumption of perennial harvests and thereby hike harvest outputs. Formal rubric workss are superior to set down reform paperss. Land rubric has no consequence on recognition, contrary to common premises. Support for land titling appears justified on both equality and efficiency grounds.† ( 9 ) In their decisions to this article, Broegaard, Heltberg and Moller assert the followers: â€Å"The advantage of formal land paperss is that they cut down term of office insecurity and heighten the value of the land. They besides provide better inducements to put in the land and prosecute in long term land usage such as turning perennial harvests, including java. All this consequences in higher end product. Lack of formal rubric and term of office insecurity adversely affect smallholders, and chiefly the poorest among them. There are hence strong statements on both efficiency and equity evidences for intercessions to clear up rights.† ( 10 ) The inquiry must hence be how or why did Broegaard move from a place of comparative certainty sing the benefits of land titling in the 2002 article, to his place of comparative ambiguity in the article under reappraisal? It could be the consequence of a complete alteration of point of view in the three old ages between the two articles, but I do non believe this to be the instance. There is a brief intimation of what was to come at the very terminal of the 2002 article, when he concludes the followers: â€Å"However, the reply to tenure security should non be limited to reforming the land disposal. There is besides a demand for effectual and impartial struggle declaration, and enforcement of belongings rights, for greater stableness and legitimacy of authorities establishments, and for improved governance.† ( 11 ) I believe that the reply to our inquiry lies in the methodological analysis used for the two articles. The displacement from an economic method of looking at statistical informations for accounts, to an anthropological and history based method of field research has been mostly responsible for this alteration in analyses. It is this methodological analysis which forms the anchor of this article and is its great strength. The re-conceptualization procedure that Broegaard has gone through has led to a interrupting down of what defines term of office security. It is no longer what we believe tenure security to be, but the husbandmans ain perceptual experiences and appraisals of their term of office state of affairs which become of import. In specifying his footings, Broegaard states that: â€Å"It will be assumed that husbandmans assessment of their term of office security degree will be influenced by their subjective apprehension of their legal term of office state of affairs, their general outlook sing authorities enforcement and equality of the jurisprudence, every bit good as their appraisal of their entree to the authorities establishments they might necessitate in instance of a conflict.† ( 12 ) He goes on to province that: â€Å"By using the construct of tenure security as seen from the position of the landowners, this survey attempts to supply a broader apprehension of the elements involved in procuring entree and claims to set down, than that which is possible with a purely legal approach.† ( 13 ) I believe that this is a really different, and an highly of import attack to this annoyed inquiry. The attack is justified by Broegaard with the position that it is the sensed term of office state of affairs which is the footing for a landowner’s determination devising, a position I entirely concur with. Where I must go with Broegaard is in relation to the statement which followed: â€Å"The chief ground for this is that people do presume that moral or socially defined rights exist and hey behave consequently, irrespective of whether these are in conformity with formal rights.† ( 14 ) I must state that in a state with the history of Nicaragua, I find it really hard to believe that people truly do posses these premises. I believe that Broagaard is in danger of enforcing west European values and thoughts upon a people who live in a state where corruptness in authorities and within establishments has become the norm. The single narratives of Roberto, and Patrona and Arnofo help to make a image of life in rural Nicaragua, a life where force and menaces are used to act upon belongings minutess, and where the legal position of the land has become irrelevant in making security. We see a image of extremely unequal degrees of information, instruction and acquaintance with formal systems, and a state of affairs where wealth can be seen as the chief beginning of term of office security. Harmonizing to Broegaard, without money it is impossible to utilize the legal system to implement 1s belongings rights. The article shows illustrations of people corrupting functionaries to acquire consequences. Broegaard reflects that: â€Å"The fact that such patterns are mentioned openly shows that they are common and quashi-legitimized in today’s Nicaragua.† This image created by Broegaard non merely provides a valuable penetration into the issues of land term of office in Nicaragua, but besides helps to paint a image of life in the state as a whole. Whilst it is the position of Broegaard that this survey of a peculiar part can be seen as representative of the whole state, I would hold preferred to see the survey being conducted in different parts of the state to see if different forms emerged. This is a little point and non one which should take away from the value of this article as a valuable portrayal of life in this Cardinal American state.

Melting Pot essays

Melting Pot essays Are all people are created equally? No matter the race, religion, or ethnic background. This is all true, but are people who are different treated equally. There is a long history of racially motivated predijuices that we all face every day. That is why that we are more of a boiling pot rather than a melting pot. I feel that we coexist, we don't live in hormone. The united states is more of a boiling pot because of the differences that make up our country. There are many different religions that people are involved with in our country. This is one of the reasons why we do not have a national religion. The problem of not having a national religion is that we are not bound together by any common religious principles. An example of how much religious differences can affect a country is Yugoslavia. We Have not come to that much of a boil over religious differences but there are people who dislike someone else because of the differences of religion. I am Jewish and sometimes I will hear comments about my religion. These thoughts lead me to believe that the United States is not a melting pot. ...

Impressionism and Naturalism by Robert Herbert Essay

Impressionism and Naturalism by Robert Herbert - Essay Example Manet, according to Herbert was a different sort of flaneur. He was obtuse in reproducing the flaneur's experience of destruction, transformation, and desolation because he was an active observer. His work The Street Singer (1862) and The Balloon (1862) were examples of the artist's silent commentary in the upheaval of the city and its people (Herbert 36). He exemplified realism through artifice and caricature. Flaneurs were keen in capturing the moment of life in its pure form which was why later works offered glimpses of contemporary urban life not through detailed oil paints but caricatures speedily drawn and executed as in Manet's Rue Mosnier Decorated with Flags and Degas's Martelli. Flaneurs, therefore, were inventors and responsible for innovation in art during the 19th century. Flaneurs were also investigators of history for they were keen observers of urban life, noting spectators, daily occupations, behaviors, professions, and intimate and domestic life of that time. Degas's Women on a Cafe Terrace, Evening and Manet's Railroad which the artists investigated to the extent of scientific naturalism could be said to denote this aspect of flaneurs. Flaneurs were also observers of domestic manners. Their detachment from the public and private arena offered them the advantage of narrating emotions and feelings without romantic interference. This could be observed in Cassatt's Cup of Tea (1880) and Morisot's Interior both depicted the artist's detachment yet interactivity with domestic life.
