In order for one to understand the criminal justice system, it is important to study both the criminal law of one’s own country as well as surrounding countries. By engaging in comparative criminal justice studies, one can expand this knowledge through the discovery of similarities and differences in the structure of criminal justice agencies of various nations or states. There are a multitude of factors which could contribute to the differences in each nation’s criminal justice system. By studying the ways in which other countries operate their criminal justice system, it may be possible to learn ways in which we could better our own system. In order to do this, we can study the ways in which various court systems operate around the world. In doing so, we will examine countries with both a different and similar judicial system to ours and discover the differences in how each operates. In furtherance of understanding the criminal justice system, we will
Hope and oppression are two major themes portrayed by Ken Kesey throughout One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Frank Darabont in Shawshank Redemption. Kesey and Darabont explore the constant battle between the two through a number of techniques, in particular, religious imagery, symbolism, motifs and film techniques. The battle explored through these techniques conveys the message that the two come hand in hand with one another; without oppression there would be no need to hope.
In light of the fact that Qatar migrant workers work in subhuman conditions, something has to be done to change that. Therefore, for Qatar to host the 2022 world cup, workers conditions have to be improved significantly. This is because most of the migrants have been subjected to poor working conditions and low pay from their employers once they get into the country.
They increase the spending on connectivity and human resources (Saudi Arabia Emergence Innovation Kingdom, 2014). Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East and the richest Arab country. The economy of Saudi Arabia is entirely based on oil (Smetoolkit.org, 2014). Saudi Arabia is the 19th largest exporter and the 20th largest import market in the world (Saudiembassy.net, 2014). Exports now in the kingdom include all economic sectors.
Persian Gulf countries are known for having high percentages of their population represented by immigrants and Qatar is no exception. According to peoplemov.in the population of Qatar is 1,696,563 and the total amount of immigrants is 1,305,428. In percentage terms, 76.95% of the Qatari population are immigrants. These statistics are outside of the norm, as migrants make up only 3% of the world’s population (peoplemov.in.) When looking specifically at the portion of the population in the Qatari working force, immigrants make up an even bigger percentage of the population. According to Qatar census data taken in 2010 there are a total of 1,199,107 “non Qatari” employed workers located in the state of Qatar. 1,070,973 of those workers are male and 505,721 of the non Qatari workers work in the construction industry (Qatar Census 2010.) To compare this to the Qatari population, only 71,076 are employed (Qatar Census 2010.) This shows that 94.4% of the working force in Qatar are immigrants which clearly demonstrates that Qatar is a guest worker country. The Amnesty International report “The Dark Side of Migration” (2013) states the reason for this large ratio of migrant workers can partly be accredited to Qatar winning the bid to host the World Cup in 2022. Qatar has very large and perhaps over spectacular plans to create a global hub for the World Cup to take place, and has needed to hire hundreds of thousands of workers to try to complete the upcoming projects on time. Most immigrants in Qatar migrate from South Asia, and one of the top migrant native countries is Nepal whose migrant workers make up around 12.5% of the total immigrant population in Qatar (peoplemov.in.) Recently, Qatar is getting scrutiny by many media outlets as ...

The commodities of the natural resources have enormous impact on accounting system in Saudi Arabia. Nature products involve minerals, oil and nature gas. According to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC, 2013), 18% of the world’s proven petroleum was discovered in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia now ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum (OPEC, 2013). The oil and gas account for nearly 50 per cent of gross domestic product. Although Saudi Arabia has the largest continuous sand desert all around the world, the earnings of oil and gas occupy most of its export revenues. Because the national revenue in Saudi Arabic rely on the export of petroleum, the revenue valuation focus on the annual production and the global price fluctuation, which is different from other developed countries like U.K. and U.S.A.

The country consists of about eighty five to ninety percent Muslim...

...Arabia is a petrostate. Oil dominates the national economy, international exports, and the nation’s politics. It has greatly shaped what the kingdom is today. Having started out as somewhat of a tourist economy, the kingdom has become a world, monetary power. From their massive amounts of oil and extremely cheap production, the country has been able to gain large amounts of affluence and political power. With its large abundance of oil, the country has been able to profit immensely on sales and spur diplomatic outcomes to their benefit due to the great need of the resource. Without the discovery oil, Saudi Arabia would be of little importance in the modern world, having the Grand Mosque be the extent of its importance. But because of its discovery of oil, Saudi Arabia became of international importance, coming to be one of the greatest assets to world superpowers.

FIFA World Cup 2022 is the second tournament of the World Cup football and be hosted by the State of Qatar. On December 2010 FIFA announced that Qatar host World Cup 2022. FIFA president joseph Blatter said the outcome of vote let Qatar be the first Arab country host World Cup 2022 in the Middle East, and Qatar deserve this honor. The delegation was concerned of the Small area of the State of Qatar, and the ability to host an event the size of the World Cup in soccer. This is considered a positive feature in the interest for all Gulf countries. But I think the FIFA inspectors are anxious to show negative points on each presenter for this hosting. Criticism has been directed to Qatar on the situation of migrant workers regarding working conditions and news about the death of workers in construction sites. So Qatar has to know how to deal and control the problems of hosting this event. Otherwise FIFA would pull out Qatar World hosting. FIFA and national football association should start to force roles on Qatar to change the treatment of labors, or the FIFA withdraw Qatar world hosting....
