Pros and Cons of the Euro The United Kingdom will not join the single European currency with the first wave of countries on 1 January 1999. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, said in October that, although the government supported the principle of the single currency, Britain would not be ready to join at least until the second wave of countries join in 2002. He added that the UK should, however, begin to prepare for monetary union. There are many possible advantages and disadvantages
has been a significant growth of the amount of people employed in the UK over the past few years but many of the new jobs have been part time and under paid. In 1996, 260,000 people entered employment of which 63% were part time. Chancellor Gordon Brown, recently claimed that there were 1,000,000 unemployed and 1,000,000 vacancies and insisted that if only the unemployed took up the opportunities created there would be no unemployment.

1 Politics affects everyone's lives and I feel that pursuing a degree relevant to our ever 2 changing political system can help me gain the relevant understanding to pursue a wide range 3 of possibilities. 4 My aspiration to study Politics both at advanced and degree level stemmed from the 2010 5 general election; it encapsulated the interest of many people across the country, in part, 6 because of the first historic live TV debate.

The New Labour 1. Introduction 1.1 Content: The essay question asks about whether the reforms implemented in the 1990's by Labour are a new phenomenon or a revamp of past policies implemented by other governments in their time. 1.2 Key terms: The idea of New Labour is described by Philip Norton as "A summary label to describe the economic polices devised by the Labour Party in the 1990's to ensure a departure from 'old Labour' economic policy" (Jones 2001, 697). 1.3 Hypothesis/Argument:
The 2005 General Election Campaign and the Democratic Party The 2005 general election campaign has been a defective democratic event in many ways. Yet beneath the surface there has echoed a national conversation of passion and seriousness. Thoughtful people have debated for months with families, friends and colleagues - and with themselves - about how to vote in this contest. Much of the electorate is still
The debate is often made that politics is rapidly becoming unpopular, unattractive and is ultimately shown to be out of favour with the masses, and this can be said to be reflected upon, and arguably due to, the traditional political parties in Great Britain. In order to receive a clearer picture of this shift in the political landscape the previously less mainstream parties must be entered into the discourse, and the changing behaviour of the voters in response to such movements must also be addressed

of it before. This is the case with an essay by Charles Gordon, When Irony Becomes Cynicism. Through his essay, one learns where irony’s roots started to grow into today’s monster that it is, and how irony is overused in television, radio and conversation. Gordon has skillfully and honestly shown how irony is perceived and used in today’s society. He fully shows that people use irony incorrectly, and it is to their disadvantage. 	Gordon has a particularly negative view on how much irony is used

Similarities between Macbeth, of Shakespeare's Macbeth, and Augustus, of Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym In literature, when the natural order becomes skewed, a character may die to restore order. Often, there is a savior who sacrifices his or her life so that other characters might live. In "Macbeth," after the king is assassinated, the balance is disturbed. "The night has been unruly: where we lay, Our chimneys were blown down; and, as they say, Lamentings heard I'th'air; strange screams

The Gingerbread Tortilla Since the mid 1900’s, readers have enjoyed the story of The Gingerbread Man in the original as well as its modified forms. The story has been modified to newer versions, and told from perspectives of different cultures. In the original versions, gingerbread was used as the main character with the story beginning with an old European/American lady baking gingerbread. Now, in the 21st century, children have less and less experience with making gingerbread in their homes
James Joyce was an Irish born author whose descriptions of the mundane life in his hometown of Dublin led to a collection of short stories that include some of the most widely read pieces of British literature. This collection known as the “Dubliners” contains 15 short stories that each centers around a different group of characters and reveals a new theme about life in the city. In Joyce's "Araby", part of the “Dubliners” collection, a young and nameless narrator becomes enamored with his friend
As a child, I usually spent the mornings at the house. The house, where I grew up, was big, and it was surrounded with big trees. It had two massive columns on the both sides with a heavy wooden door between them. Above the front door was a big and spacious balcony with a decorative, metal enclosure around it. There were also two smaller balconies on the both sides of the house. The windows were big, too, and they were covered with snow-white lace curtains from the inside. The house looked a
hues of mostly browns, greys, and whites to convey a symbolic sense of mystery and mourning from the woman, the Young Italian Woman uses variations of color to establish a bright ambience and to give vividness to the environment in which the woman exists in.

The first work of art I chose was by Willie Birch, American born 1942, and the title of the work is called Sunday’s Child. Based on my analysis, the figure seems to be made of stone of some type, but not something too strong and heavy because there are no way the structure’s two legs will be able to hold the rest of the body standing up. Thus, the figure can stand alone without any other support. Specific material types in this case is difficult to tell without physically touching and feeling the
