The Grand Old Party or the GOP as the Republican Party is usually known in the United States has gone on overdrive and launched an all out attack on the President Barack Hussien Obama about his comments on the building of a mosque near to Ground Zero where the twin towers once stood. The GOP has made it distinctively clear that they will use the mosque issue for its campaign for the upcoming midterm elections. The Republicans across the length Read the rest of this entry »

A much larger proportion of Americans attend church regularly than the British, French or even the Italians. Statistics currently suggest that as many as 88 percent of Americans believe in a God, spirit of life force. This compares with similar figures for Britain, where it is estimated that only 35 percent of the population believe in a God or major life force, or a spirit. The number of self-proclaimed atheists in western European countries is substantially higher than in the Read the rest of this entry »

Christopher May suggests that the information society provided people with ideas that it would
“Allow greater political participation by individuals, facilitated by the enlarged potential for communicaton” (C.May 2002)
Markus Prior supports the idea that the information society would have a strong affect on politics. He suggests that technological advances in the media environment directly effect politics due to the distribution of information. (M.Prior 2007) These ideas can be seen in the recent Presidential election in America. The increased use Read the rest of this entry »

Fahrenheit 911 is a very influential film surrounding America’s policies especially their foreign policy. The film portrays George W Bush as a confused, lazy and selfish president. Michael Moore does this through many different techniques, for example using television images of him chatting shit (I do have to say though that Mr. Moore must have someone giving him excellent hr advice given that he has SUCH a following of mindless fans). The film also follows the “Great Man Theory"that can Read the rest of this entry »

Since the Second World War, British Prime Ministers have forever hailed the so-called ’special relationship’ between Britain and the United States. It was a relationship they claimed had much to do with the countries’ shared history, cultural similarities and shared values. Not to mention the multiple times that we visit there on tourism, to go on ski holidays, and to experience our ’good friends'culture. The Second World War was a time in which Britain and the US fought hand Read the rest of this entry »

It has often been said in the past that the United States of America and Great Britain have a special relationship, somewhere between an old married couple and two best friends who see each other every night in the local bar. We share the same language, the same love of freedom, we watch the same television shows, have the same self vanity (look at the stats for thread vein treatment, and you will see what I am talking about) Read the rest of this entry »

Americans are complaining about the increasing gas oil prices. This is because everyday there has to be skyrocketing or outrageous gas prices in America. The main reason why the Americans are complaining is because the price of fuel is higher for their income to sustain it. Gas prices affect most of the prices of other items in the Read the rest of this entry »

With the biggest disaster to hit the oceans in a very long time the BP gas oil spill is still going strong. There is so much damage already done that there is no way to know the extent of it just yet. Birds, turtles, and other animals inhabiting the ocean are dying slow painful deaths. There are thousands of volunteers helping to aid the animals that are alive by washing them and trying to nurse them back to help. Many are making efforts to clean shorelines and try to prevent anymore of the oil to reach the coasts. There are even celebrities donating millions of dollars on the costs of the clean up right down to local people who have bizarre ideas that just might help with some of the clean up. It is very difficult to keep the oil in a specific location and away from land or animals.
BP has said again and again how apologetic they are for the occurrence. They claim that it was and is just an accident and that they will pay for all the damage that incurs. Yet they can not pay for life to be given back to the animals who have lost their lives. This is truly a sad moment and unfortunately, there will probably be thousands more animals that will lose their lives before this mess is cleaned up.
There are many fisherman who will not be able to fish for many years now and BP is saying they will pay any and all claims that are made by those who are affected. How long will they pay and how much? This is something that will be affecting humanity and the creatures of the world for years to come. This is not just something that can be swept up and taken away. BP is now under attack by not just the government and the people. They now have other major oil companies saying that they have been operating outside of what the norms for the industry are. If it is shown that BP is operating outside of the norms they will have a lot of questions to answer and a lot more responsibility to take.
