Silas Marner and Weavers in the Victorian Era The novel “Silas Marner” by George Eliot is set in the Raveloe village in England during the first four decades of the 19th century. This novel by Eliot unfolds a story regarding a linen weaver known as Silas Marner who moved to Raveloe after the accusation that he was a thief in his hometown. This story takes place when the weaving industry was famous and largely practiced by many individuals in Great Britain. At that time weavers were important in England. However, at the same time, Industrial Revolution had started and it was threatening weavers such as Silas Marner who had focused on the weaving industry. In the story, hand-loom weavers for example Silas Marner were getting replaced by industrial workers making skilled weavers such as Silas become irrelevant. Weaving became useless because machine operators don’t need to know weaving as the machines only needed to keep on running.

In 2011, Europe faced one of its deepest debt crises. Some countries in the eurozone such as Greece and Portugal were heavily indebted and they needed bailouts from other member states. However, Germany was the only country not affected by the crises, making her the "savior" of the region. As a result of the EURO crisis, the AAA rankings were lost by France, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, and Portugal (Preston) (Lelieveldt, 2016). Additionally, several other economies were affected by the European debt crisis, most notably the US, which has large multinational companies that compete in Europe. Consequently, the U.S based small business enterprises (SMEs) faced tough times due to this economic crisis. Even now, small businesses in the U.S faces reduced cash flow, marketing constraints, and budgeting constraints as a result of the EURO economic recession. This essay seeks to answer the question “Can the European debt crisis affect US small businesses?”

Water problem in California has been traced back to the history of man-made following the failure of state founding water policy from 1850 hence there are no water policies carried in the scientific, rational, or demographic method. Due to poor state infrastructures, the construction of more efficient and sustainable water system as well as the sewage system has not been established due to the delayed funding from the federal, local level and the state accused of channeling the public resources to corporations through tax cuts and incentives (Brooks & Emily, 2017). Due to the recent privatization of firm’s capital flows directly to the individual firms denying the local development of the projects denying the rights for larger portions human rights like basics to access clean water.it is however believed that the state of the water crisis in California developed after the second world war causing the state water resources to undergo a significant alteration fueled by Gold Rush.

Self-development refers to an individual's actions to better behaviour through learning new skills or through looking for a mode of overcoming undesirable behaviours in society (Oinonen, 2018). More of the research has shown that the definition of the self-development is the effort that one tends to acquire self-fulfillment through a formal kind of study program (Rezaei & Jeddi, 2020). Based on such, there are various forms of studies that have been done purposely to depict different forms of college student’s self-development. Some researchers have argued that college students' self-development is positively related to peer pressure, whereas others have tried to reject the idea (Oinonen, 2018). In this essay, the primary emphasis would be based on supporting the idea that there is a close relationship between peer pressure and the student’s self-development.

Today, there is a significance rise in the use of technology tools such as computers, tablets and mobile phones in the world. Although innovation of this technology tools has been of benefit to people in many ways, it has negatively affected our children’s psychological development. This paper will put emphasis on the negative effects of technology use to psychological development of children. Currently, children use more technology compared to children in 1990 and this rising usage of technology among children today has raised concerns across the world. Studies show that digital technology has significantly boosted children’s talent for multitasking, however, their ability to process information deeply has been impaired (Carpenter, 2000).

In recent years, Japan has been experiencing natural disasters due to increased typhoons and heavy rains. Heavy rains caused considerable damage during Typhoon No. 19 in 2019, particularly in eastern Japan (Kazama, 2021). Additionally, in Tokyo, floods caused flooding and roads collapsed due to overflowing rivers. As a result, Japan needs adaptation measures to help avoid or reduce the impacts of these inevitable climate changes. Furthermore, mitigation measures to reduce greenhouse gases should be implemented since it is a global warming agent. After the enactment of Special Financial Support for Dealing with Designated Disasters of Extreme Severity in 1962, the Japanese government have been able to efficiently adapt to natural disasters (Britton, 2007). When the Japanese government fails to implement the appropriate adaptation measures in the face of natural disasters, it may be held accountable.

In his text "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Mark Twain satirizes the "civilized" nature of American society, including racist remarks. Although most people strongly support discrimination against slaves, Huck often finds himself in contradiction with these conventional standards and beliefs. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn uses Huck as an example of society misusing youth and Huck showing defiance by rejecting civilization completely. Firstly, following years of mistreatment at the hands of his father, Huck begins to doubt humanity's Huck chooses to live with Pap rather than the Widow Douglas, who tried to civilize him by demanding that he be brought up to "eat on a plate" and "comb up" (Twain 31). Because the Widow forbids him from participating in certain activities but Pap approves of them, he believes society's "rules" are wrong.

Throughout history and in today's society, social roles have always been present and evident. Among the most pronounced roles in society are gender roles. Regardless of whether they are portrayed as masculine or feminine, gender roles are social roles attributed to both sexes. During early childhood, these gender roles become embedded in a person through a process referred to as gender socialization. Normally friends, family, and the media teach a person the gender roles in which they should act. Over the years, women have been assigned feminine roles, which has, in turn, limited their opportunities in society. Gender socialization takes place right after birth when a baby is born. A baby boy is dressed in blue, and a baby girl is in pink. In their early years, young girls are given Barbies and taught how to play house.

After reading “For the Common Defense: A Military History of the United States from 1607 to 2012” written by Millet, Maslowski and Feis, I learned that major events in the United States that occurred from 1939 to 1943 influenced the USA to participate in war. On September 1st 1939, Germany invades Poland resulting at the beginning of World War Two (WWII). The advent of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany, the Spanish Civil War, the Japanese invasion of China, the German annexation of Austria, and the internment of thousands of Jews in concentration camps had all heightened tensions in Europe and Asia in the years leading up to 1939 (Millet et al., 2012). Germany's occupation of territories of Czechoslovakia not previously agreed to in the Munich Pact, as well as its invasion of Poland, convinced the rest of Europe that it could no longer appease Germany. The Soviet Union invaded Finland as the United States attempted to remain neutral.

Business uncertainty is defined as occasions in which various business are exposed to several risks which cannot either measured or foreseen (Wang, 2019). During these hard periods, it is quite hard for business to realize their performance due to continued unpredictable changing of events. In a competitive environment, business strives to expel its strengths. This because more business in the market will push those some in corner hence denying them an opportunity to prevail. In business environment, certainty lies on the well business certainty. However, natural disasters, market slumps, internationals crisis, pandemics such as Covid-19 among other potential disruptions are considered to be basis for the business constrains.

The kids will often call us throughout the weekdays and say, “I have an assignment to complete, I want to use the WiFi,” and we will go scoop them up. This project examines audience studies out of an American viewpoint, especially from the standpoint of ethnographic population studies scholars. Other nations and areas have a variety of theoretical and philosophical perspectives. In this case, ethnographic approach. Scores, focus groups, polls, and person’s meters produce essential data for marketers and mass media firms. Contrarily, audience analyses ethnographies are beneficial for policymakers as well as academics, especially in the Media, Telecommunications and Cultural Studies fields. This project explored the impact of the US Centre for Contemporary Cultural Analyses' ethnographic community methodology on American audience studies literature.

“We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other” (Bradbury 55). There are many countries that censor school books in order to conceal or reveal sensitive or dangerous information. Many people believe that censoring books will prevent people from acting, thinking, or believing in certain ways. Books, on the other hand, play an important role in the functioning of a society. People who live in this world are already familiar with the anxiety and panic that comes with being exposed to potentially dangerous information. Adults must understand that censoring educational materials simply weakens people's ability to conduct independent actions or comprehend the genuine meaning of the world's nature. Nonetheless, somewhere in the middle of trying to reach an agreement, the government will have the ability to accept or disallow particular books. The concept of school text censorship plays a crucial role in Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, as well as in today's society since, like Montag, Faber, and Clarisse, there are still those who disagree with the government's right to censor what books can be read.
